Huh, anyone? What do you think it might be? A cozy for your toilet paper rolls? A bottle cozy? Nope, it's a pouch-thingy for my DPN's. :) See, I can fit loads of my DPN's in there.
I should have made it even longer, and made more different sized pockets, but this was just a test drive. Oh, I should also have made it deeper, because as you can see some of the DPN's are longer than the pouch, and that just doesn't look good. But anyway, I think this is quite practical, now I don't need to keep my DPN's in a tin anymore, where they get very, very dusty. I just love this fabric too, paisley is cool. :)I used the same fabric to make myself another pencil pouch too, because I realized that all of my pens wouldn't fit in the first one I made.
So now I put all my coloring pencils in the old pouch and all other pencils and pens and scissors and stuff in this new one. :)
That fabric is really really really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it's only the picture, but it seems like you have only one wooden needle? :D What is the story behind that?
Amoena - I know! I wish I could find more of that fabric, but it was just a 1 meter piece in the big bins in Eurokangas.
ReplyDeleteActually I do have five bamboo (not wooden) needles. My kids practiced knitting last Winter on the other four needles, and that's where the rest of the needles are. :) You can see a pic of the boy knitting on Flickr, here:

Kätevän näköinen juttu! Mun pitäisi joskus hankkia knitpickseille semmoinen... :)
ReplyDeletevillapeikko - se *on* kätevä! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! The fabric is beautiful! Lovely needle case :)
ReplyDeleteAlexandra - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the paisley! The DPN case would be a great addition to your shop!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. That needle holder looks like it will be useful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDorothy - thanks! I've actually been considering making some dpn cases to sell. We'll see when I can find the time to make them. And I have to figure out some of the kinks too.
ReplyDeleteAmybel - thank you!
Good idea, my needles are in a tube boxe, I always have to *match* them.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice - thanks! And yes, this way it's easier to keep the same sized needles together. :)
