New York Minknit

I was slothing a bit this weekend and surfing the Internet, looking at random knitting organizational stuff* and I went on Lexie Barnes’s website and I found this post, with a still from Desperate Housewives with my bag! Adam gave it to me for Christmas a couple of years ago and I use it all the time. It’s really big, actually, and I use it to drag gym clothes, lunch, a knitting project, library books to and from work a lot, and I’ve also used it as a travel bag. It’s padded, so I can fit my laptop in it, and a week’s worth of clothes. Also, if you happen to put things that spill in your bag a lot, you can wipe it off. All useful qualities.

1. Me knitting with my bag on the subway 2. A paparazzi shot of Felicity Huffman knitting on set 3. A shot of me knitting in the airport 4. Lynette (Huffman) about to reveal her desperate housewife secret. (Just kidding! I do sometimes watch DH, but not recently, so I’m not quite sure what is going on in this scene.)

Anyway, via the power of Google, I found out that Felicity Huffman is a knitter, so I’m guessing that might be her own bag that made it into the scene.

*I think it’s the accessories that really get you in any hobby, money-wise. Nobody needs fancy organizing cases, but they’re so alluring! Though also kind of for amateurs. It’s like fancy gardening gear–unnecessary for people who actually garden, but strangely appealing for people who dream about gardening. Like silver plant tags and such. (Publishers of hardback cookbooks, I’m looking at you.)
