jannilee: Synapse at Window Rock
jannilee with her Synapse 19 in Ultraviolet Dyneema/nylon.
“I am just back from a Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) Trip to Arizona and New Mexico, learning about the ancient and modern peoples of that region. We visited Flagstaff, Walnut Canyon, Chinle, Old Oraibi, Canyon de Chelly, Hubbell Trading Post, Window Rock, Gallup NM and Chaco Canyon. We had lectures and/or demonstrations every day, many of them from the native people of the area. It was a great trip!”

Video: How the Q-AM Shoulder Strap Works
With the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap, you can wear your messenger bag slung low on the hip or, with a quick tug, cinch the strap up snug so the bag rides high on your back. Here’s how it works. (Shown with our Ego messenger bag.)
Akknitter’s Synapse 25 and Swift
Originally posted by Akknitter on Ravelry.
“I have a new name for this bag. It can no longer be the Synapse 25. She is now my Tardis.
Okay, let’s start out with her packed only with my Swift. Essentially, I packed my Swift for travel and stuck it in the main compartment:
For those wondering about the size of this bag, I’m 5’6”.
Next: fully loaded after a fun weekend at MDS&W or Rhinebeck
Okay, pictures of what it holds.
5 skeins of sock yarn and 2 skeins of worsted that went in the bottom pocket (3 sock), water bottle pocket (2 sock) and side pockets (1 each worsted)
Add to that, 3 four ounce braids of fluff in the main compartment on top of the Swift.
And finally, my Swift
For those who are curious. What’s in my Swift for travel.
I tuck the iPad in its case behind one of the pockets. Fits beautifully.
Food in a size 2 travel sack.”

Eric’s Video Reviews: Aeronaut, Tri-Star, Western Flyer
Eric has four of our travel bags — two Aeronauts, a Tri-Star, and a Western Flyer — and he’s made several videos about them designed to help you choose which bag is right for you.
In this, the first video, Eric shows the Aeronaut in both 1050d ballistic nylon and 400d Dyneema®/420d nylon ripstop and explains the differences between the two materials. Also shown are Aeronaut Packing Cubes.
We’ll post Eric’s other videos next week, but if you (understandably) don’t want to wait, here are links to the other two: Tri-Star and Western Flyer and Western Flyer.

“inside the aeronaut are 4 changes of warm clothes for me (heading to the uk), 2 changes of workout clothes, swimming trunks, a thicker book, and two 3d clear organizer pouches with toiletries. i’ve packed in a wf sized packing cube backpack (everything but socks and underwear) and a small packing cube (for the socks and underwear).”
