Well, hello my lovely ones, how are we all? Sorry I haven’t been on here much lately. It seems to have been a bit bonkers here recently. Oh well, only a few days left at school. Everyone is ready for the end of year in the house. It’s definitely been a long one and one to remember! Blimey. I’m not entirely sure what the next school year is going to look like, but I think we are going to have to just take it just as it comes.

Heyho. Has everyone got some yummy yarny projects on the go at the moment? This is my pile.

I seem to be doing rather well and have finished quite a few WIP’s recently. I have to say it’s quite a nice feeling to be finishing off projects. It definitely gives you a sense of achievement. Think the one thing that I love the most about finishing a project, is then being able to give someone a yarny pressie. Can’t beat a yarny pressie! Gives you that warm and glowy feeling inside, knowing that you have given them something filled with a serious amount of TLC and love.

So I just wanted to pop on and quickly talk about my Cocoknits Caddy. I have had it for a few months now from the wonderful Michelle over at The loveliest Yarn Company and I absolutely love it!! Here’s the link to her website.

It’s just exactly what I was looking for and compliments all my other project bags, beautifully!

When your little caddy arrives on your doorstep, you just know that it’s something rather special!! It comes as a kit in two little parcels. I love that you make it up yourself. It gives you a sense of your own personal touch.

The straps can go either way as you can see, but for me I think they go best horizontally with the sides of the bag.

Now as mine was from Michelle over at the wonderful The Loveliest Yarn Company, it comes with the straps in the kit.

I think the one thing, that stands it out from the rest, is the ability to organise all of your little bits and bobs, but then be able to still see them too and carry around your project all at the same time! It’s just mega! It not only fits my knitting kit, but my crocheting kit as well. It has all the tools & notions I need and the space for a project or even two, depending on what you’re making.

It’s even got a large pocket on the one side, that fits my knitting needles case! Which is rather handy as it gives more space inside.

The soft handles have a nice feeling in your hands and you can easily carry it around the house or out and about with you. I took it on holiday a few weeks ago, and it was perfect. It incased everything I needed & kept everything contained in our holiday home.

Another great feature, as you can see, is that it hangs quite happily on the arm of your chair! Well it’s my garden chair at the time, but beach chairs are coming soon! Ekk!!

The fact that all their packaging is all environmentally & sustainable sourced & produced is fab. And all of their products are made with reusable and recyclable products is a huge bonus. This makes a real difference to me! The Caddy is actually made from sturdy washable paper! How crazy is that! And the straps are made from natural, vegetable stained leather. And I have to say there are a really nice touch to the caddy.

As you can see, it really can fit quite a lot inside it’s delightful little protective walls. I will always say yarn & the tools you use to create beautiful things, are very precious cargo and should be looked after with the greatest of respect!

I once heard Lisa from For the Love of Yarn, say that you can have multiple amounts of project bags, when you are a yarny lover and I would have to totally agree with her. You can definitely not have enough project bags in your life!!

So if you are anything like me, then you are totally in need of one of these caddy’s in your life!

Cocoknits – this is an absolute corker!! A huge thank you to Michelle for introducing them to me and a serious speedy delivery, as always!

Happy Yarny time.
