Knittted mobile phone (cellphone) covers
 

We lived in Scarborough (North Yorkshire) before moving up here. The
local newspaper reports that youngsters are knitting covers for mobile
phones (cellphones) and selling them to raise funds for charity

It is also a very useful present for somebody going into hospital, it enables them to keep the mobile near them.

I found a free pattern online for doggie poo-bag dispensers - here in
the states most communities appreciate (or even mandate by law) that you
pick up after your dog when walking it (helps curb the spread of
parasites/diseases, and that annoying poop-on-your-shoes) - and lots of
stores sell rolls of plastic bags (some even biodegradable) specifically
for this purpose. This makes a small knitted bag with a "hole" at the
bottom to pull the plastic bags through, and a drawstring at top to tie
it to your leash. The original pattern calls for fingering or sock
weight yarn, but I have converted it to a worsted weight (since that is
more readily available, and comes in a wider variety of synthetic fibers
than does sock yarn, since many people are allergic to the wool & wool
blends found in most sock yarns).

I plan on making many of these and selling them for charity (that being
our local shelter).... eventually :)

Good thing to think of. Nice to hear from you - I was actually just
thinking of you, Mirjam. A close friend of ours - their daughter is just
heading to Israel to do her birthright trip, and I may send you an e-mail
for permission to give her your e-mail - as a just in case. She's a very
nice girl - majoring in dance & performance.

Also - on a trip to a museum with some other stitchers recently we were
discussing various forms of textile arts and ways to involve people & I told
them about your interests and exhibits. We were visiting Winterthur, and
the curator brought some things out to show us & discuss -it was very
interesting as we all discussed trying to date a couple of pieces that were
likely mis-dated when they reached her ( I was with some rather expert
people - not me). They were pretty intrigued by what I could describe of
your artistry - as we were driving by to our hotel an hour away.

Good for them ! I have one I made, knitted and felted so that when I
walked in the woods and didn't have a purse with me, I did have my
cell phone in case of accident.

I made one for myself, too, with the intent of having it hang off my
beltloops. I never did figure out a good way to do that, so it's
sitting in my stitching cabinet waiting for some kind of inspiration to
hit me.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

Hmmm. You two have given me an idea that just might work. It flopped
around too much to be useful, so if I make the belt/cord and sew it to
the middle of the pouch and make it just long enough to go between 2
belt loops and velcro the ends shut, that way I don't have to undo the
belt every time I need to use the restroom. Hmmmm. Definitely food for
thought. Thanks, both of you!
