Thanks for the idea. I loved the pouch. Delores from wet Sedro-Woolley,WA
USA--but far North of the devastating floods.

I had good intentions of making a scarf from lace weight yarn. I picked
out
this soft fuzzy yarn to lace with. But instead I turned it into a cover
for
a pouch and gave it to a friend. I added beads on the tail ends instead of
working them in. Makes for good dangles. I then applied it to some
complimentary wool fabric. Here are some pics she took of the
pouch/purse
I made her:

I made my own large roller pillow out of a hard tube that used to have
fabric rolled on it. I work in a band uniform manufacturing company that
throws out these 6 foot empty cardboard tubes(one of these days I will
make
a 6 foot roller pillow!! HAH). So I make use of them and have used them
for
the inside part of small and large roller pillows. I then wrap layers of
wool fabric and then finally a dense insulation foam. Then the two cloth
covers. Works like a charm! The bobbins I used for making this scarf
turned into purse/pouch were the big bobbins you get in the "kit from
Hell".
I sure could use more of those if I was to make a wider scarf. If you
have
any you want to get rid of, I have a good home for them ;)
Someday I will actually make some scarves for gifts. Intentions are good,
but is one of those "round tuits"!
