Giveaway: One Stick:Two Stick Sushi Wallet Kit

Today’s giveaway is a somewhat rare item because I don’t think it’s something that is made anymore. The One Stick:Two Stick kits were manufactured by Coats and offered projects designed by Maggie Pace using a bamboo/wool blend yarn.

The idea is that you can make a little something for yourself and share something with friends, hopefully passing the needle art love on to someone else in the process.

The kit I have — which I looked over as a holiday gift idea back in 2008 — is for a small wallet or coin purse you can either knit or crochet and then felt. It’s a sushi wallet because a couple of the design options use a circle motif that looks a bit like a sushi roll, but there’s also an option just worked in stripes if you’d rather. (And while the instructions pictured here show a dark colorway, the actual kit I have is mostly light green with highlights of sea blue, coral and gold.)

There’s enough yarn to make one bag and a bunch of the little sushi motifs, which can be used as zipper pulls and in other ways. The zipper for the bag is also included. You’ll need to supply size 10 US (6 mm) knitting needles, a yarn needle and sewing needle and thread for installing the zipper.

This giveaway is open through Sunday, March 24. To enter, leave a comment below. If you’d like, tell me about your experience with felting. Or sushi. Or whatever.

Good luck!

   This is the coolest thing! I love it and I’m just starting to get into felting. Thanks for the chance to enter to win

   Hello,

   This kit looks very interesting, haven’t seen them before. I was shown felting with a sheep’s fleece many many years ago.

   Happy days.

   I’ve done some felting where you knit items on a large needle, then throw them in the washer. It’s fun!

   I have done some needle felting, quite amazing, but need to be very careful with the needles. I love real sushi as a food, we have lots of Japanese restaurants around, and we’ll almost have sushi once a week !

   This project looks very interesting! I don’t usually get to work with smaller items!

   I have yet to try felting – it’s on my “to do” list! But I have made edible sushi quite a few times.

10. Jowyn Jenson on March 19, 2013 5:36 am

    I have never tried sushi ! But love this little purse.

11. Christine on March 19, 2013 5:44 am

    I remember seeing these kits when they first came out. I wish I had picked one up. I love felting. It allows you to knit in an easy-on-the-eyes gauge but end up with a compact, dense fabric. I’m also a great fan of sushi!

12. pam on March 19, 2013 5:57 am

    Never tried felting, but this seems perfect since I have a sushi loving daughter this can give one to

13. Sarah on March 19, 2013 6:18 am

    My daughter loves sushi and wants to learn to knit. This could be a good way to teach her.

14. MoniQ in WI on March 19, 2013 6:38 am

    I love felting! I’ve made oodles of slippers, a cloche hat, a couple bags…and I love sushi, courtesy of my spouse who lived in Japan for years.

15. Mary Mac on March 19, 2013 7:00 am

    I don’t eat sushi, so I should have a sushi wallet instead. My sister would probably take it from me.

16. Charlene Anderson on March 19, 2013 7:46 am

    DH loves sushi. I don’t. So he can eat sushi and I can felt sushi.

17. Jane S. on March 19, 2013 8:12 am

    I’ve done quite a bit of needle felting but never the kind where something is knitted and then put in the washer…well, okay, I should say I haven’t done it ON PURPOSE. I did shrink one of my dad’s sweaters once, but then I got to keep it so that was good. For me.

18. Elena T on March 19, 2013 8:12 am

    I remember looking at this kit a few years ago and almost bought it, but I didn’t so this chance to win is really great! Our whole family loves sushi (even the kid who doesn’t like fish)

19. Zan Caperton on March 19, 2013 8:38 am

    looks like fun and I would like to try my hand at felting an object. Hey, I need a new coin purse anyway.

20. Judith (from Israel) on March 19, 2013 9:32 am

    Luckily for me, there’s a sushi shop around the corner from our home that sells vegetarian sushi made with brown rice.

21. patricia on March 19, 2013 10:39 am

    I like to experiment with felting crochet & knit items! Sushi however,is not on my menu.

22. Kate on March 19, 2013 11:04 am

    Looks like fun. Thanks for the chance to try a kit.

23. Karen Zumbrun on March 19, 2013 11:12 am

    Thanks for the giveaway. I’d like to try this out.

24. Dennis Mullins on March 19, 2013 1:39 pm

    I have never done any felting but would love to try. I have seen it done but that is it, looks like it would be fun.Sushi is not for me I don’t eat any fish of any kind. Thanks for the giveaway.

25. Pauleen Potter on March 19, 2013 6:01 pm

    That kits looks interesting and very entertaining

26. OHSue on March 19, 2013 10:24 pm

    This would be the perfect gift to share with a sushi loving knitting friend of mine.

27. Gil Crews on March 20, 2013 5:11 am

    Totally a newbie to felting. But loving it so far.

28. smfsprout on March 20, 2013 11:30 am

    I love eating sushi, but I’ve never tried felting sushi. Could be a new way to cut calories and still have fun.

29. Shawn on March 20, 2013 5:28 pm

    I have never heard of this it would be great to check it out.
    Thank you!!!!

30. DanielleMW on March 20, 2013 6:26 pm

    My experience with “whatever” has been limited. I have done a bit of needle felting, but I can’t say I am a fan of sushi.

31. Teresa on March 21, 2013 5:54 am

    I love felting (fulling) knitted items . . . and wet felting and needle felting. I also loved the sushi wallets but neglected to purchase one when they were available!

32. lyn lewis on March 21, 2013 2:18 pm

    Well cant say sushi tickles my taste buds but I do like to knit to felt very much! Its perfect for me because it can mask any mistakes I might make lol
    I hadnt ever seen these sets for sushi wallets…..how wonderful!

33. Kelli Thomas on March 21, 2013 4:20 pm

    This has me very curious. Cool giveaway!

34. domestic diva on March 21, 2013 7:06 pm

    This looks like fun. Thanks for the chance.

35. Ellie on March 22, 2013 4:36 am

    Looks like fun- perfect to do with my friend! And for my sushi-loving family. Once I felted a sweater- ended up having to boil it- it is now a tote bag, with the original inside as the outside- more interesting after felting.

36. Stephanie E on March 22, 2013 9:23 am

    Not sure if it truly counts but I felted wool dryer balls. I attempted needle felting but I broke three needles on one project so I put it aside for the time being. I happen to adore sushi.

37. vanessa on March 22, 2013 3:17 pm

    Hi, I love SUSHI but I have never tried to felt , I usually buy felted items and use them to combine to my sewing & knitting projects. The kit is So So CUTE!!!

38. Desta on March 23, 2013 2:27 pm

    I have really wanted to try needle felting after seeing what women in Africa are doing with the fair trade products the place I work for sells.

39. LissaG on March 23, 2013 10:29 pm

    Love sushi, love felting… What else can I say?!? Thanks for the chance.
