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.
