I thought about calling this Goldilocks and the three purses, but it has been a long time since my hair was golden.
About 4 years ago, I made this bag.
I liked it, except the front pocket had a zipper that made it hard to get your phone out. It had 6 card pockets inside as well as a place to store your cash.
About a year later, I made this bag.
It had flap to make it easier to get at your phone, but it was too small. My phone didn't actually fit in the phone pocket. It also had only 3 card slots and no other pockets.
Recently, I was asked to make a phone wallet, and this was my chance to fix the problems with the first two.
This one is the same size as the first one, and has the card pockets and a place for bills and change. It also has unicorns.
It even has a leash for my keys.
I kept fairly careful notes, and now I am making another one for my friend. I need to have it done by Wednesday, so I hope everything goes well (and I remember to sew on my label.).
i finished a couple of knitting projects.
This is a hat for my sweetie, who asked for a new warm hat. He seems to have worn out his last one.
I used my usual hat pattern, Bankhead. I made the ribbing longer because he likes a double layer over the years. The yarn is Revival Worsted from Ancient Arts Yarn, in Calgary.
I also used up the remainder of the ball from my most recent pair of mitts, to make some toddler mitts.
Winter has decided to stay, so someone will need mitts.
The other morning, we had fog, which left frost on the trees. It looked very pretty.
Have a good week. I'll be sewing to a deadline.
That is so funny Kate as my hair was golden when I was born, turned to light brown and now almost all very white just like my Gran's was. Love the 3 purse story, And the hat, for Sweetie, read what you wrote, he will have a chuckle. Ears or years !!!Frost, I was recently in the far south( Otago) staying with younger daughter after she had foot surgery and I longed to see a huge frost on their lawn. No such luck, but one night a HUGE bright red light shone at about 11 p.m. right at the bottom of their 2 acres, so I thought, Stared for ages, trying to identify it, turned out the robot lawn mower has lights and was programmed to mow at night. Maybe that was better than a frost, we did drop to 4C one morning !!!
