my son has a question on the bags. He learned to make this really simply woven bags (really good for not much yet that I can see... but he thinks their fun...) and I am wondering if they'd be too childish to use?? Their about the size of a small cell phone... Though really we haven't tried to carry one in it (I don't have one) suppose I should try it with the ipod. LOL

Arlene - what kind of yarn are you looking for? I'm going to be cleaning out my stash soon and would be happy to send something to you if I have the right type/color.

Seriously - any knitters/crochet people out there? If you interested, I'm sure I have enough for an entire bag. I'll send it to you and you make the bag to send back.

Send me a message and let me know.
