This is my new knitting bag, made by my aunt. It's PERFECT. Not only is the bag made out of fabric I bought in Japan, but the pockets are just right for all my tools.
The 'Daruma' fabric on the outside of the bag is from a store called Sanki, about a 15 minute walk from where I used to live in Japan. The blue fabric on the inside is from a fabric shop in Mito (Ibaraki Prefecture), I think.
I love this long pocket on the side- it fits my needles, crochet hooks, and other long tools just right.
I put the finishing touch on the front pocket - a Switzerland pin, and a cute Japanese Mickey pin I bought on my trip to Disneyland earlier this year.
This is my 'origami wallet'.
It's definitely one of the best purchases I made in Japan. This wallet is perfect for holding tons of coins, which makes sense, since Japan is mainly a cash based society.
I bought this 'tenugui' (Japanese cotton cloth) while visiting Yokohama, Japan. My aunt made this beautiful wall hanging from the cloth, which now decorates a wall in my room.
