Martha,

Thanks so much.....I'll watch for the 2 Lil' Yarn Sacks next week...I'm so glad to have them...I have one already and love it....great to carry around, throw in my bag, take out wherever I am to knit.... Happy knitting.

It is now completely official.......I am ADDICTED!!!! You have a new bag disciple!!! Really!!!
It is so beautiful! I am really loving how the handle picks up the color
of the flowers , the texture of the bag and the button is so perfect and
so pretty! I was not expecting the lining to be so beautiful and also
sturdy (I know you mentioned something about the lining on your website
but this is just beyond what I could imagine)!

The Madison Slim knitting bag arrived last Thursday and I couldn't have been more pleased with it. The turquoise flowers outlined in deep marigold seemed to pop right out of the rich crinkly textured brown background. After once again admiring your craftsmanship, I immediately filled it with my latest knitting project.

The care, creativity and craftsmanship that comes through in your creations is wonderful! Thank you for sharing with us!

Hi Martha,

I received the barkcloth bag earlier this week and it is GORGEOUS. The lining and the button are a perfect complement to the stunning barkcloth fabric. The first thing my husband said when he saw the bag was that it reminded him of Hawaii, which is where I was born and grew up. Thank you, thank you for another treasure.

Martha,

I wanted to let you know that my bag a lil sack arrived today. The bag is even more beautiful than I hoped. It is exactly the kind of knitting bag I saw in my mind's eye before I even found your site. You are truly an artist.

Also, I want to thank you again for taking the time to make the matching lil sack. Together, it and the bag will help keep my multiple projects organized. They make me want to knit even more!

The bag is gorgeous, as always. It's perfect and I love it. I have to admit that the first thing I do when I get one of your bags is sniff it. They always smell so good! The second thing I do is figure out what project should go in the new bag. Decisions, decisions. Then I get to take it in to work and show it off to the co-worker who convinced me to buy it. I do love your bags.

Hi Martha,
Thanks. Can't seem to help myself. At this rate you'll be in possession of my retirement fund!

Dear Martha,

The bags have just arrived and they are fantastic. I
love the purple surprise lining--and the pockets--and the sizes--and
they are so lightweight! I'm off to fill them up now--I have several
projects in the making...I was right to get two--I still can't decide which I like best, and
now I won't have to. And I can still read your news/check out bags
for sale every Friday morning, smug in the knowledge that I have my
very own.

Your bags are lovely! You are so talented and I am so grateful that
there are people like you sharing your gift with the world.

I received my two bags and they are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks.

Hi Martha,

I just got my bag - it's absolutely gorgeous, just like I thought it would be.

Martha,

I just wanted to tell you that I got my bag and lil sack earlier in the week. I LOVE them. The bag is so elegant...the fabric is beautiful and it's made beautifully. I'm using it right now. And the Lil Sack is so cute and pretty...I'm really enjoying keeping my yarn in it....I use it wherever I am and then just toss it into my big bag when I'm on my way out....thanks again for your great products. I'm sure I'll be getting some more in the future.

Dear Martha, I received my snow pond bag yesterday, Tuesday. I absolutely
LOVE it! It is beautiful, the pockets are so useful, and knitting with this
bag is even more enjoyable, if that is possible. Thank you for your
exceptional work. You know exactly what knitters need.

Martha,

Can you please come up with an idea I don't like - I'll never get to retire at this rate-

Dear Martha,
I received my latest bag yesterday. Once again I am overjoyed with the quality of workmanship, attention to detail and artistry you devote to each of your bags. I've tried to explain my obsession to my husband but he just shakes his head.
Thank you again,

I got my bag on Monday and it is beautiful!!! Thank you so much!. I was
amazed how it sits up so nice on the floor!! It is just the right size and I
l love using it! Thanks

Dear Martha,

My bag came on Friday. It is stunning! Thank you so much. Not only is it wonderful to keep my knitting in, but now my kitten can't chew my yarn! We are all happier because of this beautiful bag. Thank you for your great work.

Oh My Goodness.... This bag is gorgous! I really liked the first one, but
this one exceeds it by 100 fold! The colors are beautiful. Thank you so very
much!

Hi Martha,

I'm crazy about this bag - so glad I got it!

Hi Martha,

My bag arrived yesterday, and it is absolutely beautiful! The colors are so right for me. I especially love the lining you used--it's amazing how it picks up so many of the colors in the pattern. And I love the button! I love everything about it! Your workmanship is impeccable. I know I will use it lovingly for a very long time.

They are beatuiful.
Worth every penny. Thank you.

Martha,

My precious bag arrived today, I absolutely love it!!! The workmanship and attention to detail is extraordinary. You never fail to please , your talent is simply amazing. I am knitting and every now and then I look at my new bag and I think of the maker and I smile, my heartfelt thanks,

Hi Martha,

I got the bag today - it's going to be another favorite!!! Thanks again for another beautiful bag.

Guess what arrived today? My gorgeous, fabulous new knitting bag from you. I LOVE the pansy fabric and the lining is perfect. oooohhhh...flat bottom and the best button too.

Martha

Both bags exceeded my expectations. They are perfect and i can see why they are in such demand. I shall pass your info onto everyone who asks and i wish you continued success-

Thanks again

Hi Martha,

I received the Annie's Sock Bag today. It is lovely! I am very pleased.

You do make wonderful knitting bags!

Thank you!

I received the bag today and it is beautiful. All that I hoped for and more! Thank you so much.

Hi Martha,

I received my third knitting bag today - the snow pond bag. It is absolutely gorgeous, the photos do not do it justice. I especially love the chenille fabric and the cherry handles.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next Thursday!

Martha, it came today. It is gorgeous!! I love the fabric and the lining you chose. Esp. love the way you used a different fabric inside the pockets. What a special toiuch. Thanks so much - you have quite a talent.

Hi Martha,

I received the Madison slim bag earlier this week and love it! The size is perfect and the colors are beautiful. Even my husband was impressed!

I'll be back for more. It is such a pleasure doing business with you.

My latest bag arrived - the Wendy tote in a lovely salmon color. Even nicer
than it appeared on my monitor. Love the lining!

Hi, my beautiful bag arrived safely. I truly appreciate your work and am thankful to own such a bag. What a joy to use.

Hi Martha,

I just received my bag and I love it! It's even cuter than it looked in the photographs. Thanks for sending it out so quickly.

just received the Madison Slim yesterday and WOW ...I love it! Just had to have another one. You know how it is with several projects going at the same time. Each needs a home. Thanks for your beautiful work.

Hello Martha,
I received my bag on Monday. Thank you so much for the speedy
shipment. The bag and bold fabric are gorgeous. I appreciate the love and
craftsmanship involved in creating a one of a kind treasure. Your
newsletters are fun too.

The last bag you made for me is beyond fabulous!!!!! I love the huge size- I
feel like Mary Poppins when I carry it.

HI there Martha! Time has gotten away from me, but I just want to tell you how very much I enjoy my new fabulous Knitting Bag! I carry it everywhere and have even gotten compliments from NON-Knitters on how lovely it is!

Your workmanship is exquisite and I hope to add another to my collection sometime.

Anyway, just wanted to THANK YOU for being there and creating the Knitting Bags of my dreams!

Dear Martha, I thought you might like to know that my beautiful bag arrived
today. The photos did not do it justice and I just wanted to say thank you.

Hi Martha,

I received my Madison sweater bag today and love everything about it - the fabric, the lining, the handle, the way you color coordinate, the quality of the stitching and workmanship . . . I could go on and on. I wanted you to know that I'll be back for more and am looking forward to checking your website on Thursdays.

Hi Martha,

I just received the "sock" bag, and of course it's even better than the picture! I love the color, and the swirly design!

Hello Martha,

My knitting bag just arrived and it is gorgeous! You are a very talented lady.

Your bags are gorgeous.

Thank you for creating such beautiful knitting bags - I always get
compliments on them.

Hi Martha:

My bag was delivered today. You're right, it's much prettier than the photos!

Two of my sisters were here visiting last weekend and I was showing off all my "Martha bags" as I call them. They were quite impressed with my collection and were teasing me because as I was pulling them out of the cabinet, I referred to all of them as my favorites. They couldn't understand why I need so many knitting bags. I guess it's because they are not knitters - they don't understand my stash either and threatened to do an intervention.

Thanks for the bags - I really do love all of them and appreciate the time and effort you put in to them.

Hey Martha! Just wanted to tell you how beautiful and special my new 'hybrid'
bag is!! It ranks up there at the top with some of my very favorite bags that
you've done. Thanks for this great standard of excellence that you've always
upheld--I'm a lucky girl to have discovered you a few years ago.

Hi Martha,

I received my Madison Slim bag yesterday (amazing delivery time). Besides the exceptional workmanship, the fern chenille and the lining are gorgeous. Moss green fern fabric is exactly what I have been looking for, not only that I found it, it was the last one available for sale this week also! Thank you for making these wonderful bags, I think I own the best knitting bag anywhere. I am sure I will be back for more in the near future.

hi martha - yep - i was correct - the bag is even more gorgeous in person!
just rec'd it and i am just ecstatic. the fabric is beautiful - inside and out! i am so appreciative of your fine work. you left no stone unturned with the interior tie - just great!

Hi Martha- Arrived just in time. It's just as beautiful as the picture and the workmanship wonderful. I am sure I'll be back as my knitting skills improve and I decide to tackle sweaters but this is the perfect size for my hats, scarves and sock projects! Thanks again.

Hi Martha,

Just wanted to let you know that I got my bag today, and, as usual, it's absolutely beautiful. I really like the size and shape and the way it stands up and folds open. Thanks again for another great bag!

Hi Martha,

I got a carpet bag from you a couple years ago, it is one of my most treasured bags - I am a bag addict.

It's gorgeous, nicely big enough for the Einstein coat that I'm knitting, and its beauty will inspire me to take it everywhere - and knit everywhere! Many thanks,

Dear Martha,

I just figured something out: knitting bag stashing is actually a form of dating. As you know, I have purchased many bags from you, some as gifts, some because they spoke to me and I coveted them; and they are all beautifully made and lovely to behold. To continue the dating
analogy: they are all handsome hunks. In my most recent acquisition, I have found my true love. It would be all right with me if I had only this knitting bag to use for the rest of my life. Everything about it is perfect, from the exterior lines to the pocket lining and fuzzy mohair button. I am in love! Thank you.

I am so excited. You do amazing work and I will treasure anything handmade in the beautiful state of VT! You take such great care of detail and each bag is a work of art. I will take good care of it and knit, knit and knit !

Hi Martha,

I just wanted to let you know I received the Madison Slim knitting bag
that I purchased last Thursday from you in the mail today. It is just
beautiful! The pictures posted did not do it justice. I know it is
going to become one of my favorite knitting bags!

When I opened your box I just gasped. I had promised my husband
he could give that to me for Valentine's Day since he has been travelling for the past two weeks in Asia. When he called, I told him I had to open it so that I could let you know I received the bag. Let me tell you, I thought I was a perfectionist, well this bag has no
flaws. There is not one thing I would change. It is even more beautiful inperson. I just love it. How long does it take you to makeone of these? I'm so excited I can't wait to put my knitting inside. Just beautifully made, my hat is off to you. If you were here right now I'd give you a big hug. Thank you so much. Nothing I have seen on the internet even comes close to one of your bags. I'm so happy I found your site. Thanks againI'll really enjoy my bag and think of you every time I pick it up.

Great bag! Great service!

Well, once we got there, got unpacked and cracked open a nice bottle of wine, I opened the box from you.

Once again, you have absolutely surpassed yourself. The Madison bag is now my lifetime favorite knitting bag. I love the size. I love the way it stands on its own as a traveling stand by flipping back the handles. And of course, I am still in awe of your workmanship. The pattern of the fabric is so perfectly matched at all the seams. The lining is beautiful and -- the lining for the pockets is perfectly matched to the lining for the bag itself. The time and skill that went into making it is so evident.

And I can't thank you enough for doing the same superlative job on the bag that I will be giving.... Thank you for making something that I will be so proud to give her.

You really do make the most wonderful knitting bags. Tusen, tusen tak!

Hi Martha,

I received my BEAUTIFUL Green Mountain Knitting Bag yesterday (thank you for your SUPER FAST shipping) and have already moved in. This bag is my favorite of all time! :-) Your attention to detail is the best I have ever seen. Thank you - - Thank you - - Thank you!!

I am really impress by your work and your business, too... I bought a bag
from you a few weeks ago and I just love it !

Martha, I received my Madison sweater bag and WOW!!! do I love that blue fabric and very cool button, I now acknowledge that I cannot log on your website without trying to buy a bag, no brag just fact!!! It's not alcohol so I'm good with it! Who would blame me?! I adore your bags, each and every one I get is special, that figures, you're special!!!! Lucky me

So looking forward to this beautiful bag, Several ladies in my knitting group have one and they are exquisite craftsmanship.

Hi Martha,

A quick note of thanks for sending my latest purchase, Annie's Sock Bag, out so quickly! I received it Monday and it was indeed a sight to behold. The colors in the fabric - the reds, golds, and greens - are much more vibrant and rich-looking as compared to the image on my computer screen. The beautiful wide-striped gold/green-stitched lining complemented the spiral designs on the outside of the bag. You have a wonderful eye for color and texture, both of which bring me back to your web site each and every Thursday evening!

Best regards,

Hi Martha,
I have to tell you this little story. We're back down in Kerrville this week, and I took my two new bags with me to Stonehill Spinning in Fredericksburg, for my knitting
session. .......... is the owner and a friend and she was in love with my bags, again. Well this time she had my husband help her set up her paypal account and a
link to website so she will be at the ready on Thursday night. There were two other ladies there who wanted to buy my bags. After telling them I loved my bags and wouldn't part with them, one of them just kept telling me she really wanted the pumpkin colored one. She offered me
$200, then $250, then said "I really want that bag, name your price". I again explained they weren't for sale and told her how to go about getting one on Thursdays. I just
wanted you to know they are very special to a lot of people. Everyone is crazy about the linings along with the main fabrics.
Take care,

Dear Martha,

I received my two bags today, that was a really fast delivery. They are
absolutely beautiful, and I love the linings on both. All the extra
detail you go to makes them so special, the different fabric lining the
inside pockets. This makes a total of four bags and I really don't have
a favorite. Each one is a different size, so I just keep an appropriate
project in each.

Hello Martha,
I just wanted to write you again and express my thanks for the lovely
knitting bag - I am so happy to have it (sage crushed velvet with striped lining). This bag just makes me happy every day I use it! I've even taken my bag out in public :-) and I get stopped and
asked where I got it.
Again, thank you for creating an item of wonderful quality that I cherish
owning.
Best to you.

I like the new style "Madison Sweater Bag" especially in the swirl design.
Keep up the good ideas!

Hello Martha,

Just a short note to let you know how much I'm enjoying my last two purchases: the Dragonflies tall/fat baguette and the demi-vintage style bag. I especially love the fabrics!

I'm also very excited about my latest purchase, the oversized Annie Sock Bag. I think I'm well on my way of owning at least one of every style knitting bag in your fabulous line!

Again, thanks so much for your wonderful craftsmanship.

Dear Martha,

What a stunner! It is even more lovely in the flesh, as
the threads of the roses catch and reflect light. I didn't think I was
in the market for a snow pond bag (thought it might be too big), but
this one changed my mind in a heartbeat. The lining is the perfect
complement and, as usual, the craftsmanship superb. I'm also very happy
that the handles are a really nice quality butternut. Thank you.

Dear Martha,

I received my knitting bag last Saturday (only 3 days after purchasing it!). Thank you so much. It's absolutely beautiful -- what superb workmanship! This was a late Christmas present from my husband . . . and well worth the wait!

YOU are an amazing artist, my dear--your choice of fabric, lining, buttons--truly unbelievable--and lovely unique creations. The photo of the hydrangea sock bag on your website didn't do it justice---LOVE it sooooooo.

Hi again Martha!

Overjoyed returning customer who is back for a second bag.....cannot rant enough about the first, got to have another! Thanks for the most wonderful knitting bags ever

Your knitting bags are very lovely, Martha. Your web site was easy to navigate, full of good information, and contained beautiful pictures of your craftsmanship. I love the fact that your bags are handmade with such attention to detail.

Dear Martha,

I received my beautiful fuschia bag on Monday. I really love my bag, it's so bright and summery, and here in Texas we are having summer. This is my second bag and I love the craftmanship and the fabrics you choose to put together. I went to Stonehill spinning in Fredericksburg (about 17 miles away) and just had to take my new bag and show it off a little. Everyone loved it, the one thing a couple of the long time knitters commented on was how much they liked the way the bag opened out completely so that everything was in sight and in
easy reach. They also loved the lining and the pockets.

Dear Martha,

Your creation arrived and it is all I could of hoped for. Great construction and a well thought out design.

good morning - just wanted to tell you how pleased i am to have received my
bag in the mail. it is absolutely beautiful. the fabric is great and your
workmanship is impeccable. - thank you - it's absolultely gorgeous (and functional!!)
thank you, thank you, thank you!!pleasure doing business with you martha.

But I do love the bag. The small carpet bag is such a perfect size. The fabric is gorgeous, I love the purple lining and what can I say! Your workmanship is as stellar as ever.

Oh my!! You are so fast with shipping! I ordered Friday and got on Monday!!. I LOVE MY BAG!!! IT IS GORGEOUS. My husband loved it too. He laughed at me cause I kept it beside me on the couch all night, just stroking it in between knitting on my daughter’s hat.The fabrics are so nice and sturdy. The perfect bag!!

Your color sense, creativity, and superb workmanship makes me a devoted fan.

I love the choices you've made in all the fabrics, linings, in the pocket linings, and

the incredible buttons....you've thought of everything.

Ahhhh Martha, you've outdone yourself with this lovely combination.Your creativity and attention to every detail keeps me coming back over and over.I'm truly thrilled and delighted.

hi,
i just wanted to tell you i got my bag today!! more than worth the wait!!
just beautiful workmanship !!

Martha,

I LOVE IT!!! I know all caps is considered "shouting" in the internet world, but in this case, yes, I'd like to shout it! You have outdone yourself. The color/pattern placing looks great, the lining compliments perfectly, and it was so kind of you to include a notions bags. Button closure is exactly right. I'm very happy for your success, and glad for your sake that you have establish limits so you can devote time to yourself and family.

Not only are you an extraordinary
"stitcher", but an exceptional businesswoman, as well. Needless to say, I love my latest bag. The size is great.

Hi Martha, The baguette arrived yesterday and it is exquisit. I really love
this one. If I had to pick a favorite I really could not,because I love
them all. Thanks once again for your beautiful workmanship and stunning
colorways. I'd say that I am absolutely addicted to your bags.

Take care Martha and keep up the great work... you truly have a talent and an eye for perfection.

I love your work and admire all of the bags each week. My last purchase of a large-sized carpet bag in an "outdoor" fabric of teal and cream swirling leaves on a red background is my "favorite" to date...if such is possible! The fabric is uncommon and has movement.

I suppose that this is a "harmless" addiction...but defiinitely one that offers many meaningful rewards.

Martha,

I received my bag today and it is fabulous! I absolutely love the microfiber fabric. The color is even prettier than on the website. I truly appreciate the prompt delivery. What a delight to have it appear today! I have been drooling over the bags on your website on a weekly basis and feel that this is the perfect one for me.

YOUR BAGS ARE REALLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!!!!!

Hello,
I received the snowpond bag today and the picture didn't do it justice---it is stunning and a great size for aproject i am working---but now i realize why people want more than one--
and it got here so fast

I visited your website and was impressed with your work and your sense of style and wanted to express my appreciation. It looks as though you have more work than you can handle. Many people are tired of all the cheap, ugly, mass produced, disposable consumer goods that we are awash in, and there are very few people dedicated to creating finely crafted things so demand for them will always be greater than supply.

I received my new knitting bag this afternoon and it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts.

I am speechless at how absolutely GORGEOUS this knitting bag is! Everything
from the fabric to the wonderful wooden handles (love the name on them) to
the lining (pockets! a wonderful surprise!!) to the best workmanship I have
ever seen. I absolutely am happier with this bag than I even thought i would
be. I don't know where you get your fabrics but they are unique and make
these wonderful designs even more special.

Martha,

Oh, it's simply wonderful. The colors are so grand together...blue, with milk chocolate

brown, no less! How utterly chic, as usual. The button with the grapes is perfect. Its such a perfect marriage of the two, as usual...again. Naturally,your combinations are like no others. It's that very special and keen eye you've been blessed with.

Hi Martha!!!

I have to tell you how exstatic I am over this bag, the med-large plum and sage star carpet bag with shoulder straps!!! It's definitely not as ornate as the others I have purchased, but it is totally me. I loved all the other bags as well but this one I can't take my eyes off of. If I could marry it I would!
Thank you once again. I am THRILLED!!!

Martha, I received my gorgeous bags and they are so FINE!!!! The workmanship and quality are like nothing you can find in the stores around here. I have such an addiction to these wonderful bags and will treasure each and every one. Thank you from the bottom and top of my heart!!!

Martha, I received my bag I ordered last week, and WOW is it beautiful and outstanding in every way and did I say it was pretty too?! I adore your work and everytime I visit your website I hear this little voice in my ear saying - go ahead buy a bag, you must buy a bag now and so it goes... I wonder if my knitting will ever catch up to my bags, but then who cares?! Thank-you for the magic you make.

hi,
i just wanted to tell you i got my bag today!! more than worth the wait!!
just beautiful workmanship !! i was just soooooooooooooo excited when i took
the chance to visit your site and low and behold there was actually a bag
available!! (hard to believe). any way i was the lucky one on this one just really a gorgeous bag !!! thanks again.

good morning martha - once again, you've outdone yourself! my mail lady
brought me my new bag this morning and it is even more beautiful than i expected. the colors in the fabric are teriffic, style of the bag, it's abiliity to stand up, it's just perfect. I also have an annies sock bag which is also awesome.thank you for taking such pride in your work - the bag will be enjoyed for many years to come!

Just love your choice of fabrics and beautiful handwork.

Good morning Martha, and a very big wish for you to have a great birthday.
I love the pocket on the demi, its great. Received my bag on wednesday it is just beautiful. You are very talened.

Dear Martha,

The beautiful knitting bag arrived this afternoon. It is simply marvelous. I

opened it up in front of my hubby, and he loved the workmanship, as did I.

He said he couldn't believe I would give it away to our daughter in law.

Of course there was a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin on his face.

He is tempting me to keep it for myself. However much I love it, it is for

Susannah, who is going to absolutely love it, and will take loving care of it.

The pattern on the inside is beautiful, and the pockets are going to be so

useful. I love the handles, they are perfect. Well, the whole bag is perfection.

What else can I say...you're so very talented, and I am thrilled to be able to

give her the "perfect gift".

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've enjoyed doing business with you,

but have also enjoyed your notes and kindness.

I hope all is coming along well with your Mom.
