All Sorts

I have always loved licorice. This assured me a steady supply of the black jelly beans as a child. None of my siblings could stand licorice. I also had a great weapon against them (squeamish lot that they were) - masticated black jelly beans.

Now that I am an adult, my karmic punishment for tormenting my siblings is that I can't eat licorice for medical reasons. Well, it was great fun while it lasted.

The Phat Fiber Sampler Box March theme is "Sweet Shop". I designed an homage to one of my beloved licorice candies "All Sorts". The design is simple, an I cord edged open mesh rectangle that can be fastened by elastic loops attached to enormous buttons or I cord drawstings or both.

Here are some pictures some of the ways to wear "All Sorts"

My giveaway and the Super Box contribution is an All Sorts Spinning kit with 2 of these Oruaka buttons:



8 oz of this Black & white wool roving from dreamcrafter.etsy.com



Also, the pattern & elastic cord.

The roving can be dyed, I experimented with some in All Sorts colors. Very cute.

The pattern is available on Ravelry for $1. I am donating 50% of the proceeds to the Red Cross. March is Red Cross month.
