Yogalicious!

Both of us bring yoga mats to dance class, since a tough core warmup is de rigeur at Greenfire (Hi Michael! This is how we'll know if you're actually reading our blog :) )

So obviously one of the products we were really keen on making was a fun bag to carry our mats in. Nicole has knitted up a couple of styles -- the first is handknitted and interweaves two types of yarn (red and glittery black in this case). The second (shown here in royal blue, and one in a brown/cream blend) uses a tuck stitch and comes out with a very cool texture!


Here's a close-up of the texture on the brown and cream:


And we're not done yet! What's an I Heart That! Dance product without a little glitz? The idea is to attach straps to the bag that you can either clip to our messenger bags or use as a shoulder strap. Those straps are attached to a panel which Ally has applique'd, like this for the red and black (the panel hasn't been sewn on yet):


For more pictures and close-ups, please come visit us over on Flickr! We'll post the finished versions over there as well. Let us know what you think, we love hearing from you!

The mat you have bought is very nice and I also like to do yoga very much and that is why I also have purchased yoga mats and pants also.
