People form strong bonds with pets for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that pets provide companionship and a sense of connection. They can be a source of comfort and support, especially during difficult times. The simple act of caring for a pet can also be incredibly rewarding and can help to boost self-esteem and self-worth.

Pets can also serve as a reflection of ourselves, and people often see their pets as an extension of themselves. People can project their own emotions and personalities onto their pets, and this can strengthen the bond they have with them.

Pets also have a positive impact on our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that interacting with pets can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. Owning a pet can also provide a sense of purpose and routine, which can be especially beneficial for older adults or those living alone.

In addition, pets can also provide a sense of security and safety. They can be protectors and watchdogs, and their presence can provide a sense of comfort and security.

Overall, the bond between humans and pets is complex and multifaceted. It is a combination of emotional, physical, and psychological factors that contribute to the strong connection that people form with their pets.

It’s a common complaint among women and femme dressing folk that our clothes do not include enough (and enough useful) pockets. And even if your clothes do have good pockets, there’s always a chance that you’d rather have another pocket to put some essentials in rather than having to carry a whole bag.

But because we are knitters, we can take this problem into our own needles and knit ourselves some auxiliary pockets.

Beatrice Mase did just that, with a kind of fancy toolbelt pocket accessory that they call VELVET Pockets.

The stitch pattern has a plush, sort of velvet effect, thus the name, but it’s worked with regular fingering/sock weight yarn. (The sample uses wool, but you could experiment with other fibers, too.) It calls for 776 yards of 710 meters, which you might just have in your sock yarn stash.

The pattern includes several pockets of different sizes, with the main body of the pocket worked flat in one piece and the exterior pockets sewn on at the end. You also have the option of adding screw rivets and a coordinating clasp that make it look even more toolbelt chic.

The design is worked with a loop of knit fabric at the top so it can slide onto a belt. The pattern includes explanatory diagrams, photo and video tutorials and is adjustable to fit different sizes of belts.

It’s almost enough to make me want to start wearing belts again, even though I haven’t for years. Because who wouldn’t want a few extra little pockets to hold things when you don’t have enough to really justify carrying a bag around?

The pattern is available in English and French on Ravelry and you can also buy a kit complete with the yarn, rivets and clasp (the pattern is not included in the kit) direct on Etsy.
