Knitting / Crochet needle case

This holiday was a success! Everyone loved their gifts!

Some friends from St Louis came to visit and I ended up giving my needle case away. 

A new one would have to be made! ;) 

I used a standard letter size sheet of paper and a ruler to make the pattern. 

The colors that were decided were grey, baby blue and white. 

The left pocket is 6.5 x3.5. I used blue print for the front and solid grey for the inside.

The needle pocket is 3.5x 7.5. I used a blue stripe fabric for the front and the white print for the back. 

The front is 8.5x 11 I used a grey print and white print for the inside. 

 The case took just about an hour to make. 

Once on a roll it is easy to keep going.

 I really liked this one. 

Holds everything it needs to. 

Even has cute lace! :)

 Now if only it would make me feel more motivated to knit or crochet more.

Getting Knitty

I find that the winter is the only good time to knit. 

My hands get to hot in the summer and when the fall comes I am too excited about the season change to start anything. 

 Now that cold weather is here my hands have been busy. 

Knitting away.

 I am using Elliphantom knits mitten pattern. 

It is an easy to read pattern and goes pretty smoothly.

 My problem is that I stop paying attention and drop stitches! 

So this has become a slow process for me. 

 Hopefully I'll have two mittens by the end of this weekend.
