...does it really exist or is it merely a figment of our imagination like Utopia or Shangrila or...*insert your version of paradise here*.
Sure, I have a pretty decent knitting bag that I managed to snag from Joann's with one of my 50% off coupons, but I have a deep seeded longing for more. You see my current knitting bag is proportionately good, but the design and material are lacking...no feet, the bottom corners are balding, no structure, no pockets for organization and the side snaps always come undone (notice the gem clips holding the sides closed).
I need something above and beyond what I have today. A bag of monumental proportion. My perfect one. A bag that is tall, wide, deep, sturdy, able to stand on its own, stylish, contemporary, functional... *sigh* Alas, I have not found it yet. My perfect one!
I wonder if I should just sew one and get it over with?
I had been eyeing the Amy Butler Weekender Bag.

but upon further reflection of my real desires, I envision something more along the lines of these bags...
The Levenger Bellagio Play Bag (discontinued)
I love the leather bumpers, the nickel feet, the open interior with the organizational panel, leather handles with the nickel post and the bridge snap closure.
Target has a magnificent line of work laptop totes that convert nicely as craft bags. These bags are attractive, sturdy and affordable for most buyers.
What if I disassemble my current bag and do a "Six Million Dollar Man" job on it and make it better, faster, yadda, yadda? You know...add some feet, sew on some bumpers, stiffen the sides with plastic mesh? *hmmm* Yeah, maybe not. The search goes on...
