Sunflower Beach or Knitting Bag

by Noni Designs

This bag was inspired by a trip to Cocoa Beach, FL. We went down to see the Space Shuttle launch in 09 and stayed a little longer to have a respite in the warm weather and the lovely sunny afternoons on the beach. Now, I tend only to carry Noni bags, you can understand this, but I found myself WITHOUT THE RIGHT BAG! . . . I wanted a big bag that would fit my knitting, my pattern, my knitting needles, scissors, cell phone, a blanket (not too big, you know), some medium-sized towels, a novel, a water bottle (or two), a magazine, a toy for my boy, sunglasses. . . all in a way that I wasn't digging around at the bottom of a huge bag for all the little stuff (how frustrating!). This bag was my solution. Yes, if you take it to the beach it might get sand in the wool -- Yes yes yes. So brush it out! The size and facility with which everything can be found is worth the trouble of a little sand in your wooly bag! Make it unfelted if you must! But you suffer sand in your towels and sand in your shoes and sand in the spines of your books for the love of the sun, so why not in a felted bag?
