Current Creation

I have begun to acquire different sizes of knitting needles and decided to make a case for easy transport and tidiness. My mom sent me a free pattern from Jo-Ann's to make one and I altered it to my liking as well as what I felt was more useful. Here it is:
My own additions were: the loops to hold the longer needles (this also serves to weigh the flap closed), the little pocket to hold accessories, and extra needle space. Also, I only used about 1/2 yard total fabric. The "filler" to make it stiffer was a real find too. I found the Christmas clearance the other week at Walmart and bought a big bag of what they call "Snow decoration" for 75 cents (It is used to put under those little Christmas village scenes). It was several yards too! It worked great.

I like your new banner celebrating the much anticipated spring thaw. I'm enjoying your jam on my toast,

Nice work.

That's a neat idea for your knitting. It's fun to have a sewing machine, too, isn't it?

I loved the "additions" you made on your knitting carrier. What a practical tool!

Alissa the bag is cute. I never thought you would turn into a cooking, sewing, knitter wifey. Nice you're trying other hobbies, but I know your wild side is still in you lol.
