Knit Pouch

Quilt Festival; Quilt Scene magazin e is now on newsstands and my Knit Pouch is featured. An awesome editor Vivica sent me this beautiful Heather Ross collection from Spring Quilt market and I was able to finish this knit pouch.

There's a few things you hardly learn or keep forgetting. Knitting and Crochet are one of them. Every winter season, I search up YouTube channels and blog step photos to get to know the basic of knitting, and by the time spring comes or while enjoying summer, I totally forget what I have learned. So sadly, I am always a beginner in knitting world. Now you can imagine how much I admire those knitters who make all kind of soft and fluffy goods. And I tell myself, "you can buy them with cheaper price." How sad! Anyway, I wanted to make a knit pouch to pamper myself and to store my beautiful yarns. (Don't ask me why I keep buying them. A basketful of yarns are my winter decoration and beauty shot friendly.)

For the inside of flap, I used Lecien fabric, Memorie A Paris collection.

This pouch is actually my first version. I made this for my knitter and quilter friend, Kristin . As I don't know how to knit, I asked her to knit this cute little swatch for me(actually for her).

Which version do you like better? I think it would be good to have both, one for spring /summer and one for autumn/winter. We all know that we never have enough pouches. :)

I drew the knitting needles and quote with my Bernina sewing machine. With Aurifil wool thread, I was able to fake hand embroidery. Doesn't it look like a hand embroidery to you? :)

To learn how to make this pouch, get your copy of Quilt Scene magazine at your local bookstore or online . Happy sewing! Minki
