The exterior is 100% printed cotton front and back and 100% gingham for the sides and bottom. This bag is kept closed with a snap closure. To accentuate the "Diva"ness of the cooking ladies, there are pretty glass beads applied to the aprons of the women and the items they're making.

Knitting in the Park for Critters Prizes

Liz is planning on several knit-out-in-the-park events in and about NYC for the Critter Knitters project. We thought it would be a fun idea to have an instant prize to be raffled off at each of the knit-outs.

Here are the partial contents of a "Summer Fun" kit:  Each kit contains the yarn, pattern, and needle needed to knit the "Perfect Pouch," along with a bar of wonderful handmade soap. All kits contain some fun summer yarn, and some of them contain an autographed copy of a novel by Barbara Bretton.

Barbara was kind enough to donate the Kureyon and patterns for the Perfect Pouch, along with the autographed copies of her book. The soap was donated by Tami, and I threw in the needles. The extra summer yarn (not pictured) is a surprise in each kit, and was donated by Natalie.

Mia has also donated several "summer reading" books for the kits.

And another special prize for the NYC knit-outs, donated by Stella Kim:

"My husband is a well-known vet  on the Upper West Side. He is donating a new puppy or kitty exam, value of $80.00. For an older pet, it would be a regular yearly type of  check-up exam -- not for treatment of an acute or chronic condition. (Vaccines are free, any other medications are extra). The exam must be with him, not  one of his associates, weekday only, by appointment."

If you'd like to be entered in the drawing for this prize, attend one of the NYC knit-outs to sign up. The winner will be chosen at random at the end of the project
