Knit Pouches

These pouches were simple little knitting projects all done in a garter stitch. Followed a change purse pattern from a book called "Knitting Pretty" by Kris Percival. Easy to increase the number of stitches you cast on and number of knit rows for a variety of pouch sizes.

I learned to knit by supporting the right knitting needle against my waist which kept it stationary. Only recently, I learned that there are actually such things as 'knitting belts' (aka knitting sheaths) that are used to support the right needle. A method which allows knitting without fatigue. Here is a video  demonstration using a knitting belt at WoolyWoodlanders.
