I recently got a new purse after both of my bags have become increasingly dilapidated. This one is much smaller than either of the ones I've had before, and I decided I needed a storage pouch for my pens, my chapstick, and my nametag. So, I made one. This is the first thing that I designed myself, so I'm quite proud of it even if it is a pretty small and insignificant object. Onward: With a pen for comparison. Open and showing the AWESOME red velcro to close it. I use what's available. Stats: Yarn - KnitPicks Telemark in Cobalt and Snow Leopard Needles - size 8 bamboo straights Closure - red generic velcro
