| In Which I Finished A Whole Project In A Week! |
Today I finished working on a pouch I started last week! Do you remember the green yarn I was winding? It's 100% wool, very green, and looks great as a pouch with a bit left over!
 |
| It's 25 stitches across by 30 rows on either side |
 |
| I kind of free-handed the whole thing, to be honest |
 |
| And I'm really happy with how the loops turned out! |
This pouch is designed to be hung from a belt and is big enough to fit a cellphone, a wallet, or even a small paperback book. It wouldn't be too hard to add a strap - just attach said strap to the belt loops, or sew it to the sides!
Would there be any interest in a written pattern for this? I did a few interesting things with front post single crochet, one loop only single crochet, etc.
The button is from an enormous jar of buttons given to me by a friend, and I'm thrilled to be able to use these buttons at last!
This took a while to crochet, but I think I could probably make these for sale (especially if I made them a little smaller or out of a less itchy yarn). If anyone's got any suggestions for what it would be worth, I would love the ideas. If I used a local wool that I trust (from Nash Island Yarns), a skein is about $28, and the heaviest weight my local shop carries is light worsted/DK, where this was a worsted weight. It could be... pricy to recreate unless I took a bus to the mall-wart and bought a $3 skein of their acrylic. That would lose a lot of its character, though.
And yes, that is a new link in the sidebar for commissions - I'm opening art commissions (among other things)! Feel free to take a peak and reach out to me on Twitter or Instagram!
Go Enjoy Something!
