A Dominican beach, a glass of red wine and the love and company of your other half.
The foamy little waves colour the pink shiny sand into a creamy beige. Algae complete the scenery like a diamond necklace completes a stylish evening dress.
Red, orange, pink, a touch of mauve and a hint of green… the sun is setting.
Close your eyes, can you picture my evening?

I created this bundle to enter a competition on Deviantart. The contest is not over yet, so fingers crossed!

So what does it contain?

A. The N2L Shellfish Backpack Keyring

A very practical keyring, a functional backpack and a cute item to have.

This is not your usual Keyring, it is an actual mini backpack. The finished product measures 10 cm/ 7.5 cm and it can fit all sorts of individual “must haves”: a full size lipstick, an inhaler, a lighter, your hotel magnetic card, several folded notes etc.
Cherry on top, you can use the straps as a belt loop.
Personally, I would attach it to my bathing suit.

It is a fairly easy project that you could finish in a weekend.

To knit it, you will need:

Supplies:
Yarn: 25g DK yarn.
Knitting Needles: 2.25 mm US 1 and a similar size crochet hook.
Other:
3.2 cm 1¼” diameter key ring.
Yarn needle.
One small matching bead. (pearl)
Size:
Height: ­ approx 9 cm 3.5”
Length: ­ approx 8.5 cm 3.3”
Gauge/Tension:
22 sts = 10 4”; 28 rows = 10 4” in Stockinette stitch on 4mm needles (US 6).

B. The N2L “Shellfish” purse
A functional little purse that will become your most precious item on a night out.
When I go clubbing, I do not like carrying large purses on the dance floor. This little shell proved to be very practical for these kinds of situations.
If worn on the wrist the pearl strap will look like a bracelet and the shell will hang just enough for you to feel it in your palm.
It is spacious and it easily fits several notes, a couple of coins, your lipstick and even a mini perfume. The gap between the closing pearls is small enough to make it safe for you coins.
Last but not least, it is a stylish accessory that will complete your evening outfit.

To knit it you will need:
Supplies:
Yarn: 25g DK yarn.
Knitting Needles: 3.25 mm US 3 and a similar size crochet hook.
Other:
An old pearl necklace that you do not mind using for crafting.
Yarn needle.
Sewing needle.
Three small matching beads. (pearl).

Height: ­ approx 10 cm 4”
Length: ­ approx 7.5 cm 3”
Gauge/Tension:
22 sts = 10 4”; 28 rows = 10 4” in Stockinette stitch on 4mm needles (US 6).

I hope you will enjoy knitting it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
