Needle Case

Almost a year ago, I mentioned I'd taken a knitting class.  I have to admit that I STILL have not finished the sweater.  However, I have the back, front, and both sleeves finished. I just need to learn how to finish the neck and assemble it.  Plus, I ran out of yarn and had to order more.  Pretty petty excuses, I know but I haven't give up!

In any case, I was tired of having all of my needles and tools thrown in the bottom of my bag. I found a pattern on ETSY for an Interchangeable Needle Set Case. Since I'm waiting for my yarn and can't knit at the moment, I thought I'd make a case. 

It was a super easy pattern to follow and I am really pleased with the way it turned out. It has tons of zippered pockets and places for all my needles, cords, scissors, gauges, and even my Gloves in a Bottle.   Which, by the way, if you've never tried Gloves in a Bottle,  you must. It is AMAZING stuff and it's all I use on my hands especially in the winter since they are dry and cracked.  Instead of a button closure, I added snaps that I got from KamSnaps  so I could expand my bag in case I've overstuffed it. 

Thanks for the pattern, Jo!

Oh and I'm ready for spring!  OK.. Summer is what I really want but I'll settle for some sunshine and warmer temps.
