BumpyCrafts TAAT (two at a time) Sock Project Bag Review
I recently won this project bag in a giveaway on Instagram and thought I'd write a quick review on it. I'm not 100% sure how I came across this amazing maker but I'm glad I did, her work is impeccable and I love her designs. This bag is the small two at a time bag with divider, it also comes in 2 bigger sizes, medium and large, and you can also choose whether or not you want the divider, and of course she has a large range of fabrics including some rather gorgeous Christmas ones! This review is 100% honest and all opinions are my own.
It's the perfect cross between a tote and a drawstring bag, the drawstring part is sewn to the top of the bag so it's all one unit, so there's no worrying about it falling out or being misplaced. This particular bag was made using a fun fancy dress cat Halloween themed fabric for the outside, red polkadots for the drawstring part and a lovely pumpkin orange for the inside, I am in no way a cat person but this fabric just made me smile when it appeared in my feed and I had to enter, there's just something amusing about seeing a cat dressed up as Dracula and Frankenstein!

If you look at the moon behind the cat dressed as a bat in the photo on the left above then you'll just about see the invisible outside pocket, I've found this very handy for keeping stitch markers, a tape measure and a scrap piece of yarn in for when I take my socks off the needles to try them on. The drawstring closes tightly so there's no worry about pets getting in and stealing anything (trust me I know... my dog has tried and failed much to his displeasure), as you can see from the photos it has a square bottom so it can stand on it's own competently, the straps are strong and a good length just perfect for hanging it over your forearm.

The bag easily has enough room for 2 separate yarn cakes or balls, one on either side of the divider, I have never knitted socks two at a time so I can't comment on how easy it is to use this bag for those projects, but as you can see I've got both of my yarn cakes ready to use and I like to use the divider pocket to hold the sock I'm working on I also cross over the tips of my circular needles and use the little white ribbon loops to hold the stitches on my needles by hooking them over the top. There is also a decent sized inside pocket with the BumpyCraft label on it which I use to store the ball band of the yarn I'm using for future reference.
All in all I love this bag, it's great quality, fit for purpose and very handy. I have had a browse through her Etsy store and there are so many great fabrics, bag styles, needles cosys etc to choose from! Have a look I'm sure she's got something that will catch your eye and if you can't find your perfect bag then don't fret because she also does custom orders, so there really is something for everyone!!
