Project 31 is a leather project bag from Re:Designed, the Danish leather brand that designs bags for knitters and crocheters. It's the larger version of the brand's Project 32: still compact and structured, but with a bit more room.
Leather project bags are a different thing from canvas pouches. They hold their shape, they protect the work inside, and they age over time, picking up a patina that makes each one look a little more personal.
It suits a knitter or crocheter who carries one project at a time and wants a bag that feels like an heirloom, or as a gift for someone who already has every notion.
Good for
- One project at a time, like socks or a hat
- Tucking a project into a larger everyday bag
- Makers who like structured bags
- A gift that lasts for years
Using it
Size your project to the bag: socks, hats, mitts and small shawls fit easily, while a sweater body is better suited to a larger tote like the Project 45. Keep the working ball inside and draw the yarn out as you knit. Leave needle points capped or pointing up so they don't rub the leather lining.
Looking after it
Wipe with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from prolonged direct sun and heat, and let it air-dry at room temperature if it gets wet. Use a conditioner suited to the leather now and then to keep it supple. Stuff it lightly with paper when stored.
