Pics and more info below cut!--><\/p>\n<p>Having managed to totally lose the pattern I made for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wearwithstyle.com\/misc5.html\">this Kureyon dice bag<\/a>, I had to start over from scratch when someone else ordered one.  Fortunately, I remembered the number of stitches cast on, that I&#8217;d narrowed and then increased the neck, roughly where the yarn overs were to make holes, and that I&#8217;d done alternating rows of k2tog and ssk at the bottom so it didn&#8217;t get all swirly on me.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Posted pictures --><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/tvini\/pic\/00009bfa\/g10\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/tvini\/pic\/00009bfa\/s320x240\" alt=\"Kureyon 154 pouch unfelted\" height=\"204\" width=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><strong>Kureyon 154 pouch unfelted<\/strong><br \/>\nThe pouch in its pre-felted stage.

Last time I did it, it required exactly one skein.  This time, I obviously did something different, because I wound up about 10 unfelted inches short on the i-cord.  Fortunately, I had some in a complementary color leftover from (beware ginormous picture) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booboomonkey.com\/tvini\/040326-008.jpg\">my old booga bag<\/a>.  It was enough to make another foot or so of i-cord, so that worked out great.  Next time I&#8217;ll just omit a plain round in the body somewhere and it&#8217;ll work right out.<\/p>\n<p>This baby has to dry, then it&#8217;s off to its new owner, along with (of course) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wearwithstyle.com\/hat5.html\">a Jayne hat.<\/a>  I&#8217;m going to put a couple of little rubber Wash-type dinosaurs in when I send it, just to help it start getting extra-lucky.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Crossposted to <a href=\"http:\/\/knitting.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">knitting<\/a> and my own journal at <a href=\"http:\/\/tvini.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">tvini<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[45],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
