Closing in on the gifts

Just a very quick post before going to bed after a tiring but fun day at the park. I sewed a little pouch to hold a gift for my friend. The base is crocheted using Bouton D'ore, Dune yarn. I've got lots of that in 4 or 5 different colours, originally meant to be knitted into a Rambling Rows Afghan which never happened.

The drawstring closure and a peek at what's inside.

Why, they are the K2, Seed 2 socks in Kissed, Sweet Georgia sock yarn. As the recipient's feet are smaller than mine, I didn't want to model them and stretch the socks out. 2 hanks of yarn, 60 sts using 2.7mm needles. No swirls for the second sock (on the left)...

How charming! The socks turned out great, and that bag is adorable. I really like the drawstring clasp - I haven't seen one like that before.

Lovely! I just got my machine ... and think I would sew some small bags as practice. :)

The socks are beautiful, and so is the bag! Your friend is so lucky!

What a nice idea to 'wrap' your gift in a pouch. I'm much too lazy to do that. ;-)

I've been planning to try a crochet-bottom bag. Yours is very nice. You have great design taste!

What an adorable little bag! I love the crochet bottom!

Funny how one sock swirled and one didn't!

What an awesome gift idea! I started knitting up little bags for gloves and handwarmers with the yarn leftover from the projects. I never thought of doing the same for socks. Thanks!

Nice pair of sock. The recipient must be very happy receiving it in that sewed pouch.
What a lucky recipient, all hand made.

I love the bag and the little sweater you made with the cables, back when you were just leaving for Singapore. I was going to say, "Say Hello to my In-laws who live there, but now I know it is too late. They'll be here soon, in California.

Don't know how anyone wears anything knitted in Singapore--so hot!

[Theresa]

So cute - and what a perfect match!
