Nice !
So some of the pockets are longer than others ? Obviously for different lengths of needles. |

I like it. I might have to try and make one myself.

Details for Knitting needle Storage ThingyOverall height on this one is about 53 cm.Either use bias binding tape or, as I did, cut strips of outer fabric about 5 cm to enclose top edge of each of the three pockets Storage pocket A is about 30 cm high Storage pocket B is about 23 cm high Right sides up, lay pockets A & B on inner fabric. Match bottom edges and pin securely. I used stripe for inner fabric too. Stitch vertically about 5 cm in from each of the two side edges. Then stitch to make other pockets, vertically, about 3.5 to 4 cm apart, adjusting as necessary so last pocket is neither teeny-tiny or oversize. Storage pocket C is about 14 cm high. Pin into place on top of inner fabric / pockets A & B, again lining up bottom edges. Stitch vertically, 5 cm in from both sides. Now stitch over every other A & B pocket, so storage pockets on C are 7 to 8 cm wide (good for holding circular needles.) Right sides together, lay outer fabric over inner fabric / pockets. Stitch all edges, leaving an opening at the top to turn right side out. Turn, press, and hand sew to close opening. Attach tie - I made mine from a piece of the inner fabric. At each step it is important to pin fabric securely and press. This is really a simple project as it is all straight sewing. I like working with nice fabrics - remnants can be modest in price. I have a bag of remnants that were sold at a church fair for so much a bag. My daughter and I "cherry picked" fabric, folded very neatly, managed to fit lots into our bags and each came away with a great haul. Now to stop admiring my knitting needle storage roll and get back to knitting! Judy www.bellewood-gardens.com |
