As you can see in the pictures below, I used point protectors whenever I was not knitting this bag as the stitches would fly off the cord if I did not put a stopper on each end as I fully maximized the cord with stitches! Working knit stitches in continuous rounds results in the stockinette stitch! This part was a breeze to go through since knitting stockinette in the round is one of my favorite, most relaxing stitches of all time. To knit the body of the bag, I worked in continuous rounds. Once all the stitches were on my long cord, I could then begin knitting the body of the bag! Instead, I began picking up stitches around the entire perimeter of the rectangle with a longer cord, and when I reached the length that was still on the original cord, I simply knit these live stitches onto my long cord. When I was happy with the size of my rectangle, I did not cast off the stitches. This rectangle forms the base/bottom of my bag. You can see that it is rolling quite a bit due to the inherent nature of stockinette to curl. I used the colourway “ Ecru” which you may recognize as the same beautiful cream shade that I used for my crocheted Star Stitch Purse HERE! To begin, I knitted a flat rectangle worked in turned rows using stockinette stitch (alternating rows of knit and purl). I used one of my favorite yarns, 24/7 Cotton by Lion Brand Yarn which is a worsted weight mercerized cotton with great durability and a beautiful sheen. One morning, I woke up with a brilliant idea of how to display my enamel pins by knitting a bag with special modifications! Read on to see how I designed my one-of-a-kind Knit Enamel Pin Display Bag! However, I heard stories of people losing their pins in transit on the airplane or just out and about if their pins were displayed on project bags. I saw display boards and hanging canvas banners, but I preferred something portable that I could take around to show others my pin collection. As I began collecting them, I thought of various ways of how I could display my growing collection. Many independent designers create their own enamel pins (I will introduce you to many of my favorites later on in this blog post) and you can show off your love of tv shows, movies, hobbies, or books with the many enamel pins available. Hard enamel pins are high quality and scratch-resistant, and they are a wonderful way to customize jackets, backpacks, hats, and bags. Over the past while I have been eagerly collecting some small items that have greatly risen in popularity: enamel pins.
