Roll With It

A non-knitting FO this week (I know I could show you my sock, but as I have something else available, I thought I'd save the sock for when it has a mate!)


You may recognise the fabric as one I was sent in a swap some time ago. I hadn't found a use for it until I recently decided that it was about time I organised my knitting needles... So I made a needle roll *grins*


I'm still pretty rubbish with my sewing machine, and straight lines are apparently still beyond my capabilities *laughs* But having said that, I'm really pleased with it. My needles are now all neat and tidy, and I can find them without spending ages hunting through a drawer for the second of a pair ;)

    Very cute fabric. Every time you use your sewing machine you will get better. I'm still not great with curves, but straight lines - them I rock!

    Everyone needs a needle organizer--I like the one you made!

    I really like your needle bag. I don't have many straight needles but if I did...that's what I'd want.

    I love the bag :)

    Someday, I'll drag out some fabric I have sitting in a box and my sewing needles and thread and I'll hand sew a bag of similar greatness :)

    Maybe.

    That's awesome! Even now, I'm not great at sewing in straight lines, but there's something so satisfying about making something for yourself. It looks very organised :)

    the wonky lines are clearly a design feature!

    Hi-very nice needle holder. I use an old pottery pitcher that sits near my stash. It is 5:00am here in the United States, so I can say Happy Birthday. It is also my oldest daughter's b'day (23 years old). My youngest daughter (21) and I just booked a trip to the UK (1st visit ever)in April. Maybe we will meet up in a yarn shop! Ha ha. Again, thanks for the great blog and Happy Birthday. Terry

    Lovely! That fabric is adorable and your lines are far straighter than I've ever managed on a sewing machine!
