POUCH KNIT/FELT PATTERN by Leef I used to get amused seeing people plugged into their portable sound devices. Little did I know that I would become a “sound-toting plugged-in Grandma” at this stage of my life! I have always been an avid reader, but I have found that gradually, over the years of spinning, weaving and knitting, I had not read as much as I used to. My biggest discovery of the last couple of years is AUDIO BOOKS! Now I can spin, weave, knit, dye, etc., and enjoy listening to wonderful books AND music. These little MP3 players are absolutely WONDERFUL! It is amazing how tiny they are. The only problem I had with them initially was how to “wear” them. Some are made for the gym crowd, and can be worn on a stretchy velcro armband. Naaah, didn’t like that. The other option is the belt clip. I rarely wear a belt, and even though you can clip it to a pant’s pocket, I found that sitting down at my loom bench sometimes caused it to POP off. Clipping it to a shirt pocket was better, that is IF you were wearing a shirt WITH a pocket. SO, I decided that a handspun, hand felted pouch worn over the shoulder, across the front to the opposite side at the waist would do the trick… and it DID, beautifully! This pouch is 4½ inches wide and 5¼ inches long. I designed it to fit the largest players on down. I wanted a pouch that would not just hold the player, but an extra battery, and would also hold your cords and ear buds if you needed a place to put them, and still be small enough to be worn comfortably. It is a great way to use some fancy designer type yarns, as well as your handspun. A good commercial substitute is given for purchased yarns. You can have all kinds of fun making these! I expect these little players to be big gift items, and what better accessory to have than one of these nifty pouches! Clearly written instructions along with photos in a notebook plastic sleeve for your collection. USPS Priority mail shipping for 1 - 10 patterns is $3.85. Texas residents add 6.25% sales tax.

BEAUTIFUL PATTERN FOR A HAND
KNITTED AND FELTED BAG WITH STANDARD 4inch HANDLE FLAPS FOR USE WITH 4inch
PURSE HANDLES Knit this bag and felt it using handpun yarns or a commercial substitute. It is written to aid the spinner in taking advantage of those wonderful handspun yarns and gives a great commercial yarn substitute that does beautifully as well. This is a gussetted bag, so it is nicely shaped and holds items well. A small ball of glitzy type yarn can add interest and sparkle. It is a fast knit on large needles, and the felting is fast and easy. 4 inch handles can be found at any hobby and craft store in bamboo, tortoishell, wood and other interesting materials. Never make the same bag twice, as you can design and decorate as you please. Easy written instructions in a plastic sleeve for your collection. USPS Priority mail shipping for 1 - 10 patterns is $3.85. Texas residents add 6.25% sales tax. ALFPAT-BF $4.50 |
