My original shop for lovers of finished bags is Sheknits.
*** added after the cast...if you are knitting any She-Knits patterns come join the very first She-Knits KAL!!!
Coming soon, another KAL - CAL hosted by Marly of Yarn Thing Podcast and Sharon of She-Knits podcast. Details coming soon!
Patterns I thought were very cool but didn't want to do because they were either going to give me bulk-itis, The Tuxedo Jacket from Twinkles Big City Knits
or bor-a-mania, The Slouchy Cardigan form Knit Cafe. Having said that I think the books are incredibly beautifully done, the pictures are inspiring and I would like to make something some day form both of them.
Congratulations to Deb - you won the contest because your number was up...in a good way.... I will send you your requested prize from the prize list which is the kit for the Marly Bag Shorty.
I also awarded a second prize just kind of spontaneously to the 2nd number in the list from the Random Generator thing-a-ma-jig and the winner was Ruth Ann. Congrats Ruth Ann, I will send you the Marly Bag Originals kit that you picked as a prize.
Happy knitting ladies and please let me know if there are pictures to view of your finished bags.
Thanks to everyone that entered I received some interesting suggestions for bags. It seems the most popular one from my shop that people would like to see a pattern for is the Floral Bowling Bag.

FO SHO!!!
Congrats on your new gig!! I hope your class fills up!!! :-)
If I lived in your neighborhood, I'd run to sign up for your class! I love the podcast. I didn't enter your contest (rats) but I have a pattern suggestion. The olive red oak jug bag has the coolest pattern/colors! Or put that pattern/color combo on your custom messenger bag. Fab!
Congrats on the class and I'm sure having your bags in the shop will entice folks to sign up!
I think you should consider doing a book of patterns - yours are definitely more creative and useful/wearable than many that I see in other books. You've got variety, but yet also have a definite style.
Thanks for keeping up with podcasting!
Debra
Sharon,
I was listening to your podcast on the way to work on the Metro and when I heard you mention my name (about test knitting) I could not stifle my giggles (I'm such a loser!) I'm sure my fellow passengers thought I was insane as I stood there grinning to myself like a fool. . .
Good luck on the class. If I lived closer I'd sign up too! (And I have another vote for a book of bag patterns in the tradition of EZ and you could weave in stories about raising seven kids)
Blessings,
Evelyn
