What’s better than having an amazing mountain view for your knitting + crochet projects?…Having an awesome new Gaston Luga project bag to carry them to that amazing view in! 😉
I was so excited when Gaston Luga reached out to me for a collaboration! I am always in need of a new project bag and this one is the perfect size!…Not to mention, its super cute! 😉 Besides using it for crochet and knitting projects, living in the mountains and having a little girl, I am almost always in need of a backpack. I try to walk or bike everywhere I go, as often as I can. And backpacks make that so much easier to achieve! This Swedish backpack is stylish and streamlined. I am in love with the Lillen style and even more in love with it’s perfect shade of pink! Let’s look at all the features! But, first….

Swedish backpack features
When searching for project bags, I always look for lots of pockets! We makers need those extra pockets for knitting needles, crochet hooks, stitch markers, tape measures….and all the project things, amiright?! That is one of the main reasons I chose this particular Gaston Luga backpack style. Besides the perfect shade of pink and Scandinavian streamlined design, I loved that it included two open side pockets, a front zipper pocket as well as an internal zipper pocket. Much to my surprise, as I was filming my Gaston Luga backpack video, I found another pocket!! That is a total of 6 pockets, y’all! Let’s review them all…
These features give me plenty of room for keeping all of my knitting and crochet supplies organized and not in a pile in the bottom of the backpack. I especially like the interior pocket for keeping notions! The padded sleeve on the inside fits most 11-13″ laptops.
The open side pockets have plenty of room for holding my largest knitting needles securely. You can even fit two sets in there! They can also hold crochet hooks or a cell phone! The backpack keeps it’s rectangular shape nicely, making it easy to get in and out of – great for grabbing your current knitting or crochet project!
