Chic-a Clear Front Zipper Pouches

9″ Clear Front Zipper Pouches

I love zipper pouches to put things in. I use them in my purse to hold my chap stick, Advil, bandaids and measuring tape. For my knitting I use one to hold all of my little accessories like stitch markers, crochet hook, measuring tape and tapestry needles. These pouches are so handy. The Clear Front Zipper Pouches are even better in that I can see what I need to grab as I am putting my hand in the pouch. It makes for speedy retrieval of the item.

14″ Clear Front Zipper Pouch

The small size is 9 inches across and great for the purse or knitting bag. The large pouch is 14 inches wide and is perfect as project bag, to carry papers or patterns. Both sizes are durable and easily wiped clean and come in the fun 4 colors that Chic-a offers.

Chic-a always offers a fun product with a practical application for organization…
“Making Practical Fun” sums it up!

 

Chic-a at Stitches West

17 Feb 2016 / 0 Comments / in Knitting/by

Chic-a has been going to Stitches West for the last 5 years. We have some family obligations during the week of Stitches this year so we are doing something different which we are very excited about! ImagiKnits of San Francisco will have Chic-a products in their booth 317, 319, and  321 at Stitches. We are so pleased to support a local yarn store in this way.

We are excited that ImagiKnits will be debuting Chic-a’s new Duo Interchangeable Needle Case at Stitches West. Last year many people at Stitches asked if we had a case that holds 2 sets of interchangeable needles. At the time we didn’t but the idea was planted and now we have this new case. The Duo Case holds two complete sets of interchangeable needles and their corresponding cords and accessories. It is a small and compact case at 7″ x 7″, which makes it fit nicely into a project bag or purse.

ImagiKnits will also have several other popular Chic-a products in their booth. The Single and Double Yarn Keepers are show favorites. The Clear Front Zipper Pouches in the 9 inch and 14 inch sizes will also be at the booth. The Blossom Bag which stores flat and opens up into a nice project bag will also be available. Most products will be available in all the colors.
If you are heading timagiknitso Stitches this weekend stop by the
Imagiknits Booth – 317, 319, 321 – near the entrance and check out the new Chic-a products!

Have Fun!

 

Dressed Up Knitted Hearts

Here is my update on the fun Knitted Hearts.

I spent some time this weekend dressing the hearts up with some sparkle. I love sparkle and was ready to add a lot! As I started to work on them I realized moderation was going to be better. I did not want to cover up all the knit stitches. I stuck with using just the sparkle glass beads and no sequins.

It was a lot of fun trying to decide what to do. I think my favorite ended up being the white and gold heart which has no sparkle at all! I love how  that one came together. I also really like the striped one because your heart isn’t always happy! There are times when you feel grey and there are time when you feel joy and love! The sparkle flower in the corner is the perfect accent.

Anyways, this was a fun quick project to work on. Even though I am posting it after Valentine’s Day that is ok. You can give a heart to someone you care about any time of the year!

Knit Your Heart Out!

10 Feb 2016 / 4 Comments / in Knitting, Knitting Projects & Patterns/by

As Valentine’s Day approaches I have realized that I don’t have all my shopping done! I thought it would be fun to knit some hearts and embellish them into special Valentines. My first task was to find a pattern to knit a heart. I found one on Mollie Makes website. This pattern is really simple and knits up super fast. By my third heart I had the pattern memorized.

I plan on embellishing them with some stitch work, beads and sequins. Once they are finished I’ll sew them to a card and give to friends and family!
It is fun to making some quick handmade items for Valentine’s day!

Happy Making!
I’ll update with finished pictures once they are all completed.

How Chic-a Began

Chic-a was founded in 2007 by Joanna Reyes. Born out of an idea to create something practical, yet fun and colorful for knitting and crochet projects, Joanna designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. Responding to immediate popularity, Joanna continued to develop products to meet the growing demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.

After 10 wonderful years in business and meeting countless amazing people who have helped make this venture possible, the Chic-a offices are closing their doors. Our products will no longer be manufactured, but you can still find some in retail stores. Click here to find one near you.
