It's Here!

After I saw the Namaste Laguna I was all over Ravelry looking for one. Someone pointed out that the store Hip Mountain Mama had one of the bags on sale at 40% off. 40% OFF!!! I went to have a look and they had the Newport on sale. It's a lovely bag even if it's not exactly what I wanted. I cannot resist a sale. So here's what it looked like when I got it:


And here's what it looked like five minutes later:


Didn't take me long till fill up all that space did it? Actually it's not that full. I could probably fit a lot more in there but I don't have more to fit! This has my three LeSportsac make up bags I use to hold my needles and accessories, 2 knitting projects, my Kindle, my wallet, phone, keys and a magazine with loads of room to spare! Isn't it great? I'm very happy with it and love Hip Mountain Mama. The woman who runs it couldn't be nicer and it got here quicker than I could have hoped for. Please have a look at her site if you're shopping for a bag. She's got other stuff and the site is easy to maneuver. I'm waiting on another delivery but I'll tell you about that another time.
Oh and don't mind the salt and pepper shakers. I put them in for perspective. My son bought them for me for Christmas a couple of years ago.
I'm finishing up hat number 6 and today is day 6. One day and one hat to go!

Love it! I'm jealous! I totally would love a new bag, but don't *really* need one. Although I do have a birthday coming up ... ;)

How funny, that we've been knitting for about the same amount of time, and we both have blogs called "Knitting Knoobie" (mine is spelled "Knewbie")! You've been blogging longer, though.

I'm impressed that you've done 6 hats in 6 days...I'm not nearly that quick.

I look forward to watching your projects progress.

Hey...it looks great (and thanks for the plug and kind words). I also have a Newport in Saddle and just love it! Before they came out with black, saddle has always been my favorite Namaste color (well with a close second to peacock and eggplant:)).
Enjoy!

Very nice bag - and at 40% - nice!

How in the world did I miss this post! I LOVE your bag! I can't wait to see it in person. I have a feeling once I see your bag scores IRL.....
