diaper bag=knitting bag?

itsjustmeghan · 08-03-2007, 09:52 AM

i was thinking that i might get a neat cool patterned diaper bag to use as a knitting bag. does anybody else do this?
i just thought with all of the little pockets, the big open spaces, the thoughtful water bottle holder, and the easy wipe down capability, it'd be an ideal way to transport projects i'm working on....and with all of the super cute stylized bags they have now, i wouldn't look like i'm carrying a diaper bag.
but, if i needed to throw a diaper and wipes in there, i COULD! hahaha
what do you think?

I think diaper bags are perfect. I am not a fan of the wipe down capabilities of them (because it does make them look a little toooo diaper bag-ish) but otherwise, with all the pockets, I think they are perfect.

I used to work for www.diaperbags.com and was always perusing the site looking for good bags!

Hi Brenda,

I'm always looking for a better Knitting bag then what I have. ( I have Grandma's old Knitting bag. It's a Straw one. from way back when in the 40's or 50's )

There is a small shop here when they have SO MANY Vera Bradley knitting bags. But talk about HIGH PRICES!!!

The lady accross the street from us has one that only cost her 5 bucks at a yard sale!

One of these I'll find a great one. Until then, I'm still looking... :-)

I had a vera bradley diaper bag already and I started to use that for my knitting bag, since I don't need it for my baby (4 yo) no more....

I purposely bought a Land's End diaper bag when I was expecting a few years ago. It doesn't look like a diaper bag, more like carry on luggage (the largest size). I use it all the time for other things now. It works great!

I've always thought a diaper bag would be perfect! I love the Vera Bradley bags, but that site has so many cool ones, too! I love this one! http://www.diaperbags.com/diaper-bag...inttoteset.cfm

Oh and this one!

I just bought a diaper bag at TJ Maxx that will either be used as a diaper bag or knitting bag.

The brand is Figgypudding. It is a knock-off of a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag. Asian print fabric with wipeable interior fabric. It can be a shoulder bag or backpack. It was $20. Mine is dark olive with pink trim and pink interior.

A good knitting bag is worth its weight in yarn, no matter what it was originally designed for!

I LOVE my SkipHop bag that I bought when I was preggers with my little man. It can totally be used for a knitting bag. Check them out!

I have the dash canvas. It cleans easily and has tons of compartments. Hmm, now I know what to do with it when my little one is out of diapers!

When I first read this I was thinking it was a great idea. A $20-$30 bag from wally-world would be a cheap, cute solution... then I started clicking the links.. Do people really spend that much on diaper bags? That's just crazy.....
