Last year, I saw someone with one of these circular knitting needles cases, and I had to make one, or two, or three. I'd never seen a knitting needle case that folded up to look like a slice of pie. I made three of them. I kept one for myself and gave the other two away. It was a fun project. I knew I'd be making more of them in the future.
The last week or so, I've been working on making more needle organizers. I pread this project out over several days. One day, I picked fabrics from my stash. The next time I worked on them, I cut the material. Another day, I pinned them together and tried to remember how I sewed them when I made them the first time. Finally, it was time to sew. Mission accomplished. Six organizers are complete. I have more cut, but I'll sew them up another day.
Yesterday, I decided to try to make a couple of photo prop nests/cocoons out of some yarn I had in stock. Here's what I came up with. There are two sizes. One for preemies/smaller babies, and a larger one for babies up to approximately nine pounds. They're soft, cuddly and have many opportunities for those little fingers and/or toes to poke through the openings. I love the basket weave look. Now, all I need is a baby. :-)
What would you like to see on this blog? Do you have something you'd like to recycle, but you don't know what to do? Is there a project you'd like to tackle, but you don't know where to begin? Post a comment, and let us know what you're thinking. We can work together.
Have a great day!
