We have partnered with super-cool knitting magazine Knitty in a contest designed
to invite you to tell us what you’d like to see in a knitting insert for the LUX.

A customizable bag with optional zip-in inserts, the LUX is a tote bag with
graceful curves and streamlined design – no outside pockets to distract from its
clean lines. The inside bottom of the LUX features a separating zipper that will
allow you to zip in one of our still in-development inserts, including a knitting
insert.

Here is what Knitty has to say about the contest:

“Tom Bihn makes, we think, some of the nicest, best-quality bags we’ve ever
seen. They’re also kickass people with a true sense of adventure. So when they
contacted us about setting up a contest, we were all for it!

They’ve got an idea for a great knitting bag, but now they want your input to make
it the best it can be! And in return for your feedback, you could win one of these
beauties…which doesn’t even exist yet, so we can’t show you a pic. Trust us,
though — our editor and several of our masthead staff have seen an early prototype
and already there was a scuffle for ownership [guess who won?]. Mighty cool bags,
these.”

Prizes include LUX totes and a $100.00 gift certificate. Visit Knitty for all
of the rules and other details.

The Size 5 Monolith: Now in stock

The Size 5 Monolith, designed to fit 12" laptops such as the 12"
Powerbook or Dell 700m, is now in stock and ready to ship. The Monolith provides
all the super-tough protection of the Brain Cell, but in a vertical orientation.
Your laptop hangs suspended, cradled in 8mm thick soft foam padding in a 4mm hard
corrugated plastic insert that protects from the front, back, and bottom.
The sides are protected by dense cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam.
This offers the toughest protection you can get for your laptop in a case that
is still light and minimalist. Just beneath the zipper on the top of the
Monolith are two padded flaps. Your laptop will be protected from every angle.
