Turq and purple pouch

Hi, it is long time that I have not posted my knitting time. I remember that while I was doing my 6 th std at St.Lawrence High School in Mumbai during the 1967 , my craft teacher taught me to knit a double layed scarf. It was a thick scarf , but the center portion was not joined only the sides were joined. I was knocking my brain and trying to recollect how it was down. Luckly I was able to get this method in you-tube. It is called as knitting in a round with straight needles. I was happy with this search knowledge. Hence took out my size 4 straight needles and started to knit and I was able to knit this lovely pouch. It is an all purpose utility pouch and can be used for any sort of storage. Sharing my first purse. Many will follow soon. It has a look and feel like you have a rib stitch.

Black - white case

Finally finished the case for my friend. She wanted black and white yarns to be used as; she felt it will a neutral color. Hence I knitted this using size 8 double pointed needle. It is very easy to do and is not messy because I do not have to attach [stitch] at the seams. Just binded off 12 stitches and with the remaining 12 stitches knitted a flap in white yarns. Knitted an I-cord in black and attached to the sides. She said that she will be using this case for keeping her black berry mobile. Hope it fits correctly.

Presenting my new jewel case. It was done in a 24 peg round loom.As I ran short of green color , binded one side and continued with the yellow yarn. The yarn was sufficient enough to make a flap.

The centre square stone was purchased from  Neha Gala from A1 crafts supply and the top red rectangle diamond from Selvam stores.

Cross stitch on knitting

Hi friends,

Have done a new concept in knitting. I have done cross-stitch on my knitted pouch. This pouch will hold all my crochet needles and sewing needles. This was very difficult to do. There is no proper alighnment as the stitches are loose at some places and tight at some places.

1. Cross stitch in the centre

2. Cross stitch in the flap

3.Appearance of the pouch

4. Pouch with all my needles

Hope it will be useful . You can use it for your spectacles or for stationery .
