| Knitting Zone/HiyaHiya The Knitting Zone • (877) 733–5527 • www.hiyahiyanorthamerica.com  Elegant and functional—Two words that don’t often go together, but perfectly describe HiyaHiya’s Small Project Bag and the cunning little HiyaHiya Knitting Dumpling. At first glance, the beautifully finished bag looks like an evening purse, constructed of a combination of Asian brocade with contrasting solid color in a choice of black/red or black/teal. Only the words HiyaHiya embroidered on one side give away the secret that this is a project bag, ready to hold yarn, circular or double-pointed needles, or whatever you care to tuck inside. It’s a perfect size for sock projects, squares for afghans, and such. The flat, reinforced, rounded oval base allows the bag to stand tall when it’s open and in use. The zipper magically opens in either direction with zipper pulls attached to both ends of the strap. The strap goes around your wrist if you feel like knitting while you’re on the move. Light-color lining fabric makes it easy to see the contents. There is an inside zipper pocket on one side that is sized for scissors and other small accessories. You’ll want a Knitting Dumpling to tuck inside the Small Project Bag: It’s a three-sided container that snaps open like a pea pod or European coin purse, comes in a variety of brocades, and contains a set of stitch markers (Yarn Ball markers shown, but markers may vary). If you’re hunting for gifts to give knitting friends, these are two items to put on your short list. |

Namaste Namaste Inc • (818) 717-9134 • www.namasteinc.com Everyone can use a knitting tote for all the projects started, but the bags from Namaste are so much more than knitting totes. They are truly fashion-forward accessories with organization in mind. As with all Namaste products, The Monroe Bag (16”L x 5”W x 11”H) and The Wallet (8.75”L x 1”W x 4.75”H) are made with PVC-free and animal-friendly materials in great fashion colors: red, black, peacock, pink, lime, and eggplant. Launched this spring, The Monroe Bag is the first of a new collection from Namaste in more classic and vintage inspired designs. Three separate compartments make up the bag, so separating personal items and travel needs from your knitting project is a breeze. The Wallet features an accordion-style opening, interior and exterior pockets, and plenty of credit card and money slots for the person who wants it all in a compact purse/wallet. The Wallet is available in the same colors as The Monroe Bag. Because the colors are coordinated, drop The Wallet into The Monroe Bag and  head off to work, then utilize just The Wallet when going out to dinner. You will love the quality, well-planned design, and attention to detail in every product from Namaste. |
