There is a Zippy Pouch for Everything!

John was jealous that I had a zippy pouch for my camera and he didn't have one for his. So I made him this one out of the last tiny bit of lovely elephant fabric from Anna's quilt. Just had to go with the red spot for the inside, there was no option.

Busy Sunday

I only seem to be able to blog at the weekends, too busy during the week. So here goes with the latest. Friday I went to Stitch and Craft at Olympia, to be honest, I was disappointed. Maybe because I am so used the hugeness of Knitting and Stitching at Ally Pally, there wasn't much fabric or much yarn, only a handful of stands. Usefully though Fabrics Galore were there so I was able to get some fabric from them. I also found ribbons, buttons, some yarn for a mohair shawl and a gorgeous cross stitch kit of chickens.
Yesterday I made four zippy pouches for sock knitting kits. I've run out and have none for sale on Ebay.
Today I put the kits together and made a zippy pouch for Tom's tablet, I measured carefully but didn't take into account the zip would make the opening narrower than the width of the pouch, so I really hope it fits. I've used the left over bits from Anna's baby quilt, only because he saw it and said he wanted it. C'est la vie.
I don't think the pictures are going to end up on this post in the places I want them to be in. Going to stop here as I have more to write and show.

New on Ebay

I've just put these socks on Ebay I'm thinking about whether to open an Ebay shop, I'm not sure if at the moment it would pay for itself as I'm not selling very much, people seem to like the sock kits and this is the first time I've put socks on, so I'll have to see how they go. Obviously I make less on the socks as they take about 10 to 12 hours to knit whereas I can put together sock kits much quicker once the pouch is made. I'd better get on with making some more!

Zippy Pouch

My first zippy pouch going solo. No Karen or Manda to help me. Almost got too scared when my zipper foot was very different to the one I used on Saturday. Also I had to make a small one as I only had an eight inch zip. Still this one will do as a make up bag or a camera pouch, it fits perfectly!
