This said, I really really like it. It is really roomy, it has o-rings to attach straps that I can attach my keys, wallet, and yarn sack. Now, this may not seem like much, but when you have as many things in your purse as I do, it's huge. It makes a difference between leaving the house relatively stress-free and running around frantically looking for my keys. Now I can just pull on the strap and immediately know that my keys aren't lost in one of my son's many hiding places. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Also, I am glad that I listened to my instincts and changed my order from the Cordura Olive/Purple to the Black/Black Ballistic Nylon. Not only is the name of the material it's made from very cool, it really lives up to its name. It stands up by itself. I have enough slouchy purses, thankyouverymuch. And not only does it look durable, it feels durable - tough - even for a mother with 2 very active kids. PLUS - and I don't know why it took me so long to decide on the colors - it's black, and it goes with everything.
Now, I don't know about you, but I like to look halfway decent when I leave the house (I at least like to think that I match - ha!). I don't know what I was thinking going with a purple and green knitting bag. I don't wear those colors. Nothing in my wardrobe are those colors. I don't even buy yarn that is green (unless it is variegated and with other colors). I gave away my only 2 skeins of yarn with those two colors. That purse would not have matched anything I would wear. I would feel silly carrying it around town with my very boring and not-purple-and-green clothing. Black is the color. And I love that my Swift is that color!
Welcome Swift in Black Ballistic Nylon. You are now my official knitting bag, and YES, I think I love you (in a platonic way, of course).
