My iPhone Pouch


A lovely phone deserves a lovely  pouch.


I haven't picked up my knitting needles for several weeks. Last weekend quite spontaneously I had the impulse to create something with yarn. My impulse to knit was able to keep myself in seclusion for an afternoon, stitching and ruminating.


Simple pattern, easy knit, but the result is surprisingly sophisticated.


Yarn: Jamieson's Spindrift 2-ply in Natural White, Crimson and Cobalt. 


Needles: 2.75mm and 3mm double points


Notions: A super kawaii button from Purl Soho. 


Special effects: Pouch body was slightly felted (by washing machine) to make it more durable. 


If I am going re-knit this pouch, I will make it 0.5 inch smaller for a better fit.

Crimson, Cobalt & Natural White



My all time favorite color combination, and the heart pattern is appealing, with a hint of Scandinavian folk art spirit.
