Well, I’ve finally grown tired of my double-pointed needles stuffed into a porcelain cream pitcher. I’d have to sort through all of them just to find that one last #3 for a project. Now I have a nice, tidy roll for needle sets #1 through #10. I’m going to make another for my long, regular needles, in addition to a zippered organizer for my accessories. I was originally planning on layering the pockets–dpns in the front, regular needles in the back. Alas, it was too bulky. At any rate, everything will soon have a home.
fabric: Ikea Pernilla (pretty much the only cute fabric they have right now that is decently thick.)
pattern: Lotta Jansdotter’s tool roll from her new book.
skill level: easy
time: just under two hours
overall: Simple project anyone can do. If you have a solid base of sewing knowledge and some experience, anything in her book will be a lot easier. Explaining a simple concept can be wordy and seemingly complex to the beginner, so a little experience with your machine is recommended. Either way, this is a solid project that continues to be useful long after you’re done.
i like, mrs. mcC. i want. i have the namaste binder, but i could use these for my dpns even though i hate the dpns.
are you up for making some sock yarn cash? let me know how much if you are.
Lovely needle roll! I just recently got that book, but haven’t had a chance to try the projects.
