Today is Worldwide Knit in Public Day, which starts today and goes through June 19th.

I didn’t know this, but I often knit in the dark with just the light of the TV screen in front of me as my husband will complain if I have the lights on during his movie. Picking up the knitting-in-the-dark skill has also allowed me to knit on car trips at night as well.

Have you ever wanted a Namaste Laguna bag? I’ve always been partial to it myself, as I love the fold-down top part. Namaste states that their Laguna bag will be discontinued, so if you have ever had a yearning for this style now is the time to purchase it!
I don’t see any indication of a price reduction, and the bag is currently $79.00 USD (while supplies last, of course).
