Swift Sak

When you have a tight living space and two curious kids that can’t keep their hands off anything. You become creative with ways to store your knitting tools. An umbrella swift makes for a highly useful tool, but it is also an attractive target and unless you want to spend your days shooing away little fingers, this is great solution.



This bag makes for perfect storage and whether your plan on a knitting retreat, yarn adventure or just want to wind up some skeins in the park to freak out the general public, then this is the way to go.



The i-cord strap is designed to naturally close on top opening through the buttonholes when hung on your shoulder or perhaps on a hook in your storage closet.

The Swift Sak pattern is now available on Ravelry as a free PDF download or you can click the link on my sidebar.

So perfect! And I can easily see it being functional to carry a yoga mat, too.
