Lotta can do (almost) everything

I love sewing pouches! They are very useful for me, because I have a lot of small craft stuff, such a knitting markers or tapestry needles. Fabric bags or pouches are much better than string bags (the foil tears with frequent use).  Pattern source: YT sewingtimes ,  redrawn by me using graphics program: pdf download I think it's a good project to do with kids - its possible to do without sewing machine. Just use the non fray fabric (felt for example) and sew-on snaps or buttons.

One of the most interesting features of the Cameo plotter is the PixScan mat. But my (and not only mine) first try was a failure. I've wasted a lot of time and each time got an error: failed to detect registration marks . After an Internet search I found many advises, but none of them worked. I tried to load the mat a little bit more on the right or on the left, to rotate it, to use stronger light or to work in the daylight, to set the sensor manually...  Still the same error.

The pattern is a simple rib (k1,p1), except for the dotted section. The inspiration was a Magic Stripe scarf . Dotted rib: Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches, use circular needles. Row 1 and 2 , white yarn: *k1, p1*, repeat *-*. After row 2 do not turn work , but slide to the other end of the needle. Row 3: pink yarn: *k1, p1,   S1wyib ,  S1wyif *, repeat *-* Row. 4 : white yarn *slip white stitches as in the row 3 (knitted - S1wyib, purled - S1wyif ). Knit the pink ones as they appear (you should obtain a correct rib).  Do not turn work, but slide to the other end of the needle. Repeat these 4 rows. S1wyib= slip one with yarn in back S1wyif= slip one with yarn in front
