Knitting Podcasts

I am getting addicted to knitting podcasts, not sure if I am scarily so or not. But am staying up late listening/watching TheKnitGirlls podcast video and an apostrophe hit, eh, an epiphamy (hope that is spelled right!). Sorry that is taken from Robin Williams Hook and that slipped out. They were using what looked like zip up cosmetic bags to stick what they were knitting on in. I am taking the train up to Seattle for a ball game and want to knit on the train but didn't want to take my knitting bag with me. But a year or so ago I had bought a couple of what I call shaving kit sized things from Ikea, thinking that it would be a great thing to stick a couple of toiletries in to take to the camp showers so I didn't have to cart the whole travel bag I have for all the things I need for whatever. I took the ball of yarn, needles, scissors, and a measuring tape stuck it in this shaving kit type thing and it works. So I don't have to worry about needles running away, balls going everywhere, can stick it back into my travelling bag without worrying about where everything is. And it has two snaps so it can expand a bit. I also found that using one of those pencil cases, the ones that your kids use and can go into a three ring binder, also helps in keeping extra needles, one of those stitch holders, extra little stich count things (even though I get the cheap ones, I loose them consistently), and extra patterns I either scan out of books I have or off of Ravelry (just fold them up and stick them in). Well gotta go to bed, it's a little after midnight and I need to get up at 6. Not a morning person! Boy am I such a dork!
