Project bag essentials with Lulu Loves' Emma - Simply Crochet Emma at Lulu Loves shares her must-have crochet accessories… I use this Cath Kidston basket for keeping my projects in. It’s just the right size to keep everything together and I can move it from room to room or out into the garden easily. I do most of my crocheting at home in the evenings but if I’m out and about collecting/dropping off the children I will pack what I’m working on into a smaller bag and crochet in the car. Like most people I know who knit or crochet I usually have several projects on the go. I always carry a notebook and pencil with me for jotting down ideas and pattern notes. My ipad usually lives in my basket too. I keep the hooks I’m using in a small pencil case that also carries a tapestry needle, tape measure, small scissors and a stitch counter. Lastly, a couple of pom pom makers because you just never know when the urge to make pom poms will hit you – plus, they are great for distracting bored children.
