I’ve decided to sew myself a needle case of some sort. You should see the small collection of patterns I have to try this from: the one in the SnB book, the out-of-print Simplicity pattern, the one from the Sweater Workshop book, and this one. being the crazy person that I am, I became obsessed with finding the Simplicity pattern - bid on it on eBay, and was sent the wrong pattern. ended up getting it from a different seller. and what did this obsession leave me with? not using it. well, I did steal the idea from it to use bias tape around the edges so it’ll look a little prettier. but for the most part I’m using the one linked with some alterations. so at this point I have the fabric cut, layed out, and am trying to decide how I want to sew it together. and I’m thinking I want to add an accessory pocket of sorts (I’m thinking vinyl with a velcro closure), but I’m not sure where to add it. *rolls eyes* of course, I can’t do things according to the pattern. no I have to modify and make it more complicated than it really is. =)
so that’s my non-knitting update. I think I’ll go stare at it some more and see if I can figure out what I’m trying to do…












You should add our shop to your LYS list! Kind of a south-of-the-river alternative to Zandy’s, we carry lots of crazy yarns, and high-end fun things….But mostly just a really fun yarn store. Not stick up the butt knitting..
Anyway.. The Yarn Garage, in Rosemount.
