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. 

The Staple Dress

 I've seen this dress around for a while. I loved every ones version.

I just needed that fabric that said "Here I am!"

Finally! 

Here is the best pink ever.  

For the best dress ever.

 I loved making this dress. The entire time I had the best feeling about it. 

It was really easy to understand. Really quick to put together.

 Plus everyone else made it before me. I'm slow to the party.

 And Pockets! Love a dress that has pockets!
