What You Want in a Bag- Handles/ Straps

Looks like we all agree for the most part about straps and handles for our "perfect" knitting bag. This outline is short for that very reason. The perfect knitting bag will have both handles and one or two shoulder straps.

• shoulder strap(s) (no shorter than a 10" drop) adjustable to messenger length
• handles attached securely to bag, and don't get in the way!
• both are reinforced, sturdy. strap has something lining it to keep it from slipping off shoulder. I'm imagining that canvas as a backing will do the trick.
• wide enough to keep them from cutting into our shoulders. 2.5-3" wide should do real well.

If this list doesn't match what you imagine as the straps on the "perfect" knitting bag, and you haven't yet put your hat in for the raffle, you still have time to influence the design process! The raffle post is the first one on the first page of the blog, and you may win a "perfect" knitting bag for not too much trouble. Entries will be accepted through June 30th...
