Christmas Sweet Pouches: Update


   As I said last night, I have four pouches to do before Thursday (tomorrow) and 
Pouch One
aimed to do all four last night. As you can guess, this didn't happen. I finished my first one in a pretty multicoloured yarn, mostly white with blues and pinks blended in and began my second in a multi-toned brown with beige tones woven in. If you have time, check out http://www.ravelry.com/projects/QueenAnkh. I have a couple of other projects on there and will do a review in the next few posts as I think it's cool and just love the handy library feature!


   As I'm waiting for a package this morning, I have plenty of time to finish the other three and then some! I'll put more pictures up next time as hopefully I'll have finished them!!


Keep knitting!

Christmas Sweet Pouches

How time has flown. Nearly Christmas and what do you buy the people you love? In my case, a box or two of nice chocolates and about 6 balls of wool. I decided to knit smallish pouches that would hold home made sweets and could be re-purposed. These have turned out wonderfully and have been appreciated by all so far.
  I had made 7 in total, one for each person I'll see this Christmas, and thought that that would be that. But oh, no. Now we are having the neighbours round for a pre-Christmas shindig and now I need to make more! Luckily only four extra are required but I still had to pick up three new balls of wool! Can't let the neighbours have the same!
  I have finished one so far tonight and am working on the second.  I do hope to do all four tonight but with my fingers getting so cold so quickly, I might just finish this one and make a hot chocolate! One of the best things about these pouches is that they only take about 30 minutes each and are quite sturdy. I have one for my USB drives and one for our 3D glasses so they don't get scratched. They really are quite useful.  And I make them all. Wonder if I could sell them on the internet somewhere? Hm, now there's an idea...
 Ah well, back to the grindstone.

Keep knitting!
