And the Bells are Ringing!

Hello,
Here's a post to 'ring in' the festive season -- sharing some crochet bells...can you guess what they are?

Well, it's a my take on a key pouch! Saw some versions of these on sale at the weekend market in Bangkok 2 years ago. I thought it was a good idea except that the cord was made very long ...which made me wonder "Wouldn't such a long cord get tangled up in ladies' handbags? (knowing most ladies have tons of 'stuff' in our bags)....
While mulling over what small gifts I could make for some dear colleagues, the key pouches came to mind. I made the cord shorter, but now it fits snugly on the button for storage so it wouldn't tangle around that lipstick, tissue pack etc in their bags!
For myself, I'm using it to store several thumb drives which I use for work.....
What might you use it for?

Till the next time, have a great year end of rest and spending meaningful time with your loved ones!

Spikes and a Phone Pouch

Hello there,
We just upgraded our daughter's handphone and so her handphone pouch wouldn't fit the new phone which is much larger. Coupled with the casing that the phone is in, it was difficult finding a pouch which would fit the phone snugly. Crochet comes to the rescue and thanks to the generous sharing of a free crochet pattern by Tamara Kelly of mooglyblog.com (pattern link is here), my daughter now has a new phone pouch! (The pouch then promptly accompanied us on our family vacation.)

Cozying Up with the Kindle

Hello there!
We just purchased the Kindle but found that the leather cover that we had bought for it made the whole thing rather heavy and defeats the purpose of it being easily held in one hand for easy reading!
That sparked off the search for a crochet pattern for a cozy or pouch for the Kindle. 
This free pattern by Tamara at Mooglyblog (here) is beautiful and here's my take on it!
Have a great week ahead!
