KNITSTER

Do you remember a while ago I was drooling over a Jordana Paige Knitter’s Satchel as expressed in this post? Well, sometimes “dreams” come true! It’s also a case of persistence (and persuasion) pays off! I got after JC enough that I REALLY wanted the bag, and had been drooling over it for so long, I convinced him to get it for me for Valentine’s Day! And although he ordered it a few days before the “big” day, it finally arrived today! Hooray! And even by his standards, once I opened the shipping box, it was better than even he expected. I tell you, the quality of pleather has gotten better over the years, because he really thought it was real leather, and it definitely looks and feels like it. JC also told me that now that we have the bag in hand, he can see why I liked it so much, as it’s “very Dani”.

Behold!

First, it came inside a very nice dust bag.

 
It looks designer just ’cause of the dust bag! Good for big projects that don’t fit in the purse.

Then, I opened the gift card inside, which was a Valentine’s note from JC.
Nice card! Handwritten note inside!

Here’s the actual bag!

It’s a beautiful deep red color. Not quite burgundy, but clearly RED.

Look at the big interior!

 
Nice and roomy. Please excuse the thumb at the top of the photo.

And finally, you know it’s a real Jordana Paige when you see this on the side:

This is a pretty “big” gift coming from JC, but like I said, he was even impressed with it. And I think he knows it makes me happy. It’s just a tad too small for me to be putting my monster of a sweater project (the Flaming kid sweater I’m making for Drew– too many balls of yarn!)in it, but it can easily accomodate a regular sweater project that didn’t involve the current 7 balls of yarn that are simultaneously being used and detangled by me constantly. So, I have another two projects in there instead that are “easier” ones. One is me making yet another set of commissioned wristwarmers. Hey, it’s easy money for me! The other is going to be (since I have to still put it in my bag) the shrug I started last year that I really ought to finish. It’s not much, but I think I have some ideas of how to finish the look of it a little better than when I “designed” it last year. We’ll see how it turns out.

I just wanted to share, as this is probably one of the fanciest knitting things I ever got! I can’t wait to start bringing this to work, and bringing it around with me as my purse.
