Little Seaside Bags

Firstly thank you for all the kind comments on my spiral shell pattern. 

 And now another mysterious set of little bags.



Inside them are some sets of my beach creatures. They could be used as an educational toy, but are also very decorative. A little reminder of happy days at the seaside.

The bags are hand dyed. (You may remember my recent tie dying project which I was being a bit secretive about.) They are a heavy duty natural cotton, with a silk pull cord. Each one contains an individual set of hand-knitted and embroidered beach creatures: a spiral shell, scallop shell and starfish.




The sets are for sale in my Etsy shop. (Apologies that I keep plugging my shop, but I am really trying to make a go of it.) As I have made quite a mixture of colours, you can request a specific set, or just leave it to chance. I will try to accommodate any colour requests.

Set A

Set B

Set C


 Also I just thought I would mention that I have set up a Ginx Craft Facebook page, so if you are a Facebook user you can follow me there. You just have to like the page. It is at https://www.facebook.com/GinxCraft  and there is an icon to link there in my sidebar on the right. I am still getting to grips with the technology, but I will link all my blog posts there. At the moment I have just put on some of my favourite photos, as it was looking a bit empty.

    Great sets. Couldn't help smiling at your post about the spiral shell and the choice of wool. It's exactly the sort of thing I'd spend time searching for.

    That's such a great idea for selling your shells. Are you going to knit lots of them? Would that not be really time consuming? Either way I think that it's a great present for any kid. I'm going to fire away at knitting your shell patterns soon. my kids can't wait.

    Honey - you have every right to plug your shop - your work is creative, excellent, whimsical and wonderful - your textrues and shapes are fascinating and elegant. So yeah - you SHOULD be able to make a go of it. And the second we find a way to reestablish our own living, I'll be spending money there. Bless your heart.
