Hee hee! Since I've gotten into this sock thing, I've been trying to
figure out if I can quilt up (my other hobby) some sort of belt pouch
knitting project case that I can walk around with. It would make
those 45 minute hikes to and from work (on the days when I HAVE the 45
minutes for the lovely walk) so much more productive.


In a chapter on the history of knitting in a needlecrafts book that I have,
there is a picture of an itinerant knitter (male, centuries ago) in which he
has some contraption strapped to his hips. The wool is apparently encased in
two bags on each side of his body and he is shown knitting with the two
strands of wool and walking. Maybe you can devise something like that. Your
idea has historical basis.
