Whit's Knits: Three Little Pouches
After containing my yarn excesses last month with a new Stash Basket, this month I turned my attention to the discombobulated world of my craft accessories. I wanted everything to have a place, and I wanted that place to have style!
So here are Three Little Pouches to get us on the road to organizational nirvana. The first one is a drawstring bag for all the loose buttons you've picked up along the way. The second is a perfect sleeve for crochet hooks (the stitch pattern is slip stitches, not fair isle, in other words, way easier!) And the third is a Gooseberry Stitch purse for small knitting necessities: tapestry needles, a measuring tape, stitch markers, a pocket gauge, folding scissors.
To make my pouches really special I used Manos del Uruguay's Silk Blend, 30% silk and 70% merino. Every skein of this yarn is hand spun and beautifully kettle dyed by one of the 400 women who make up the Hands of Uruguay artisan cooperative, a non profit organization expanding opportunities for rural women in Uruguay. Doing good aside, it's just plain gorgeous yarn!
To get organized, please visit my Three Little Pouches Project Journal. Thanks! -Whitney
