DIY laundry bag

Circular needles were used.

This Project has three parts:
1) The "tube" that has buttonholes on the top 2) a "round" crocheted bottom
I tried to make it round, I was not successful, but it did not matter at all.
3) The band for the buttonholes on the top

This became a great Christmas gift for my brother.

A quick and easy knitting project

As a quick and easy knitting project I made a small pouch.

I used large knitting needles, size 10 (millimeters), and I started knitting with 6 wool yarns.

For the colors I chose 1 turquoise (which was clearly thicker then the rest), 1 grey one, 2 white ones and 1 black one.

I knitted one wide piece, which I folded in the middle and sewed together. The yarn at the end I braided together into a small loop. The end of the loop I fastened of (unbraided) into the work.

Because I didn't have a needle with me (I did this in school) I sewed this pouch together by using a hairpin.

I didn't define a purpose for this pouch, I only put bags of candy into it and gave it to a friend.

It would have been easy to add a button or a zipper, but because I didn't have a needle I left them off, at least for now.
