Nom nom
I long, in my very deepest soul, to hold this up in front of you and go 'nom nom nom' while waggling it around and showing you how very delightfully satisfying a shape it is. The limitations of still photography make this...challenging. But this might help, should you be so inclined.
Clasped
Clasped is out, and I should probably warn you away. I should probably tell you not to make one of these. In fact, yes, let me just go ahead and officially warn you against making them right at the start. Because once you make one, you're almost certainly going to want to make another. And once you show someone else what you've made, you're almost certainly going find yourself getting all sorts of longing looks or hints or outright requests to make more. Now to be fair, these are easy requests to say yes to (the knitting is simple and [...]
Bit of kit
If you want to make these, you need one special bit of kit, so let's talk about that! The thing that lets these do their magic is called a "flex frame clasp" or sometimes a "flex frame kiss clasp." That's what's in the top of the pouch, and it's what makes it do that magic pinchy pinchy clacky clacky thing (nothing but technical terms here). They come in a bunch of different sizes, and the size of your clasp determines how wide your pouch is (you don't need the same size I have, I'll walk you through how to use [...]
Squeaking noises
I will, in the very near future, show you a wee video of this where I wobble it back and forth and try and say something other than 'ooooooooh, lookit, isn't it cute?!?' I will probably fail. I will probably mostly just make squeaking noises. But really, can you blame me?
Satisfyingly tidy
Oh, oh this is tidy. This is satisfyingly tidy. The kind of tidy that makes me hate the world slightly less than usual. I know I can't be the only one soothed by tidiness, some of you have to be wired this way too. Tell me about something you find satisfyingly tidy so I fee like less of a weirdo!
Betrayal
Will this keep my glasses from getting covered in speckles and smudges? No, no it probably won't. But it might make them easier to find. Can everyone else in their 40s and up please reassure me that I am not alone in finding this sudden betrayal (aka the perfectly normal aging process that we all go through if we're lucky enough not to die before we get there) Quite Seriously Annoying? Because god DAMN is the constant 'where are my glasses...no, my OTHER glasses' thing is a drag.
With age comes…
I have officially reached 'staggering array of different glasses for different situations' years old. Which, quite frankly, sucks. However I have decided I shall console myself by making one of the wee pinchy pouches into a glasses case. As you can see, it is not yet actually big enough for this job, but it should be very shortly. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find my glasses so I can finish knitting it.
Options
Options options options. My brain always wants options. You know it, I know it. There's no reason to fight it. Easier just to give in and do what it wants.
Tidy
Because just one version is not enough...Also because oh, oh starting things off like that is just so very very very tidy that it makes my brain happy.
