Pretty
Sew Flo bags on Etsy!! If you like nerdy stuff and need a new geeky knitting bag, check her bags out!   (It looks like the shop is on vacation for a bit, but she'll be back soon).  The one I won from her shop is a Small Pyramid Pouch, which is a little small for a knitting bag, but they are available in larger sizes and different styles that would all be great knitting bags.  Even the smaller ones would make great notion bags.
