For being a colour that I really like, this swap did not seem to come together easily.
All the blues that jumped out at me were grey-blues, denim type colours, and my partner is not fond of that shade of blue.
But here's what I managed to get together -
I wanted to make a box type bag, but the piece of fabric I had was just not the right shape to make a squarish box, so an oblong one emerged. Actually it fits and enormous amount and if you're carrying fairly short straight needles they fit too. The shape grew on me as I carried the bag around, but I hope my partner likes it. I wanted her to be able to use it for sewing notions as well and I thought the long shape would be good for carrying things like pincushions and scissors.
The bag is reversible (if you so desired, but all that really means is that no seems are visible on the inside, this was close to an impossible task, must figure out how to make that step easier!)



A bit of blue Kool-Aid, blue sticky notes, blue tape measure, blue scissors, blue low fat doughnut, blue bookmark, blue idea notebook, a blue sheep purse, and a blue pen/highlighter.

Just wanted to comment on this because I was the recipient of this swap all those years ago, and that was a quite low point in my life and I really really loved receiving this one. I STILL use this bag for all my projects, as it is an awesome size and the loop is perfect for hanging on my arm for knitting on the go.
I knit up the zara into a beanie for my son, it is my favourite pincushion, the bookmark is used everyday in our devotion book with the kids.
Thankyou Penny :-) and all good knitting love to you and your family
