In December 2008, Grandma made this for me:
I had been knitting for about a month and I needed a case for my small amount of double-pointed and circular needles. The only requirements were that it was stylish and would hold the needles well. It turned out perfect. Throughout the past few months I’ve managed to accrue quite a collection of dpns and circular needles. The roll case was only big enough to either hold half my dpns and none of my circular needles or all of my circular needles and none of my dpns. I decided another needle roll case was a top priority. So I went through my mom’s huge tub of fabric and found 4 fabric designs I liked. I made a pattern, cut out the fabric and then following my mom’s instructions, managed to sew it up within a couple hours.
This is the end result:
So now I have a roll case for my circular needles and a roll case for my dpns. And I love it. The colors are so bright and cheerful that I can’t help but smile when I see it. And every time I look at it or think about it, I want to make more.
I can see this turning into a very healthy addiction.
I am a mother, photographer, knitter and sometimes I like to pretend I can sew.
This is the blog showcasing my crafty side. This is all me, with tons of inspiration from friends, family and other crafty people thrown in. I love looking at sewing and knitting projects I stumble across the web. I love seeing the end result of a knitting or a sewing project.
This blog will be the perfect inspiration to create fabulous projects.
I guess I should say that it’s a new craft/knitting/sew blog. I’ll still be posting my knitting extravaganzas on this blog, but it won’t be a main focus.
So check out my new blog and make sure you subscribe so you can stay up-to-date on my latest projects.
This will only be sticky for a week :)
I went a month with having a power cord for my laptop that worked only half the time. Then it completely died and I went a week with having to borrow my dad’s power cord. I finally got a new one in the mail and now I LOVE not having to worry about my laptop battery dying. It’s so nice. That also explains my lapse in blogging. That is my story and I’m sticking to it.
I had intended on blogging Friday night, but Comcast was having problems (what else is new?) and I didn’t have internet service. So I spent the night catching up on processing photos. and knitting. and reading. and listening to music. But those have turned into my normal nighttime before bed routine. Who says I need sleep??
Saturday I was feeling incredibly crafty. So I sifted through my mom’s huge tub of fabric and found some I liked. Then following her directions and pattern, I made a roll up double-pointed needle holder. And it looks fabulous!
I still have tons and tons of projects to complete, but I am so excited for what I have planned to do.
