I made many Cellphone bags as presents for friends in various techniques , knitted crocheted embroidered appliques , it is a useful present. Also those made for Charity bazaars are snatched.

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

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.
