Psychotically Sane

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.
