A Knotty Pattern has been born.....



REWIND TO NOVEMBER,......


                   My Cousin and I were out doing a little shopping for an upcoming baby shower we attended, and saw that one of our favorite stores was having a one day only sale. $3 a bottle on an other wise $12 bottle of strongly scented lotion, NO ONE could pass that up, and we are not ones to let a good sale go by. 

 
                   As we were doing our smelling, deciding, and shopping, other things made it's way into our bags as well. One being the little pocket sized antibacterials that are ever so popular. She happened to make the comment..."I may as well get a new holder for it too, as the last holder I bought will not fit these now."  My look at her said it all,..."No you don't,"  I replied,..."give me one of your antibacterials and I will make you a new holder for it."


                 We all know the ploy that stores like this do,...every so often they change the packagings so we have to buy new accessories to go along with the new shaped containers.  I was determined to beat them at their own game this time. 


FAST FORWARD A FEW WEEKS.........


                    Sitting one evening...trying to figure out what I am going to give her for Christmas....I catch my eye on the lone little pocket sized antibacterials, and a bit of leftover Expression Fiber Arts Resilient Sock Yarn in Starfish. Suddenly inspiration struck!! 



LATER THAT EVENING,......



                                               THE Pocket Bac Holder WAS BORN!!! 
 I had a fun time writing this pattern up,...and have created another pattern since. I hope that you will take the time to check out both patterns and purchase them. I will be adding more patterns and more blogs in the near future.
