love this pattern; i am working on my third one lol using Rowan Moordale, my second one was with Alpaca Classic in light grey and light blue. I decided not to add extra colors (overlaid stitches) and just keep them all plain, two colors. It really helped me to watch the video on flat stranded knitting as I only had done stranded knitted in the round previously.

gently soaked and let air dry after knitting and prior to stitching up

knitting this was super fun, the hard part is cutting out the lining, sewing up the lining, attaching the lining and zipper. I had to search online for a video on how to insert a zipper, it definitely helped to use clips instead of trying to use pins to hold the zipper in whilst handstitching it. I had to redo my handstitching as the first attempt didn’t look so great. Really love the pouch, I use this one and my second one all the time hope to get back to my third one after the holidays because i am participating in another kal and was hoping to finish some socks for my brother by xmas
