Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Two more volumes in Vogue Knitting's "On the Go!" series, both of these pattern collections are packed with fun-to-knit designs. Of the two dozen designs in Baby Blankets, more than half could also be used as lap robes for adults and all are excellent designs by top Vogue knitwear designers. Similarly, Bags & Backpacks features an interesting mix of designs for purses, totes, and backpacks, including a child's backpack in the shape of a lamb. A good, easy-on-the-budget choice for public libraries.

Another Little Gem from Vogue Knitting,
By
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go: Bags & Backpacks (Hardcover)
What a great series these "On the Go" books from Vogue Knitting are! I own several from this series and am always amazed that they can pack so much into such a tiny book. This one is no exception. It is small enough to slip into a knitting bag, it has just enough reference to go along with the patterns and the patterns are varying levels of difficulty but all very fashionable. There were instructions for beautiful beaded bags, felted bags and cute backpacks. I am a beginning knitter and there was plenty in this little book to keep me occupied, as well as plenty that inspire me to improve my skills.

Bags--a great knitted gift idea (never worry about the fit!),
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go: Bags & Backpacks (Hardcover)
First off, these Vogue books are very clever; they are the perfect size to fit in your bag when you take your knitting on the train, plane, doctor's office, etc.Secondly, this book has bag designs contributed by TOP designers like Sasha Kagan, Deborah Newton and Nicki Epstein. That's great. These particular designers (not to leave out the others who contributed to this book) are great at colorwork and embellishment. In fact, if you like these bags, you'd probably get a lot out of Nicki Epstein's book Knitted Embellishments. With that book and the bags, you can customize the patterns and add fringe, cords, embroidery and more. You can extend these 20 patterns to make your own designed bags. Bags, especially backpacks, are very in with kids right now. And why not make an evening bag for your next gala night out. Or use the patterns to try that one ball of interesting novelty yarn you have but don't have a pattern to use it with? If you like knitting bags, you might also like home-decor items like pillows. Check out Shangold's Design Source book of Home Decor, Nicki Epstein's Knitting for your Home,Erika Knight's Comforts of Home. For more bags, see Zoe Mellor's book Head to Toe Knits : 25 Colorful Accessories for Your Home and Children, with more bags and toys, plus home items as well.

from beginner to experienced,
By Maria S. (Monza, Milano Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go: Bags & Backpacks (Hardcover)
This small book has projects for all tastes. 27 bags and backpacks to knit and have fun. Has a picture for every item.I know it can be difficult to get the right yarns and accesories if you live abroad or if you don't want to spend lots of money, but with little imagination, you can adjust this ideas and use other yarn and another kind of handles for a bag. Just check gauge and you're done!! great buy for teens or young adults who want to start knitting their own bags or for a mother or grandma who wants to spoil her children
