Mumsnet Talk

Does anyone have a pattern or ideas for making them? I was thinking about maybe knitting some - I want to make them big enough to stretch to books and bigger stuff!

My Mum made Christmas drawstring bags for me and my sister when we were little. I still have mine (and I bet my sister has too). They were made out of felt with a simple cord drawstring, our names embroidered on them and an applique angel. Big enough for an A4 book but not too big that Santa had to go mad.

Lots of knitting patterns on Ravelry, if you are a member.

I'm not BW! Maybe I should investigate and sign up....

Ah, it's fab!

these ones are particularly lovely, IMO.

Ooh thanks Buttercup, I might give those a try. <<goes up to see what wool is in the cupboard!>>

I don't suppose you know what size they come up?

I bought one of these kits, not finished it yet but it looks really simple. "Look at this page"

I made one last night and this morning...see other thread in A&C, you might think they are terrible though! It was quicker than knitting them, I can't do circular needles anyway, it would half kill me

If you have got an old jumper to cut up it's quite easy. Pics on profile.

Flightattendant, I can't see any pics anywhere - am I being thick?

Oh dear I have out my profile on view twice now and both times the thread died!!! I tink people are trying to tell me my stockings are rubbish

Oh well!
