Lust--Satisfied

Awhile ago I mentioned wanting this. I showed it to my MIL when she asked me what I wanted for my birthday. The result:



This is the best knitting compartmentalizing item I have ever used. The only problem? I think I might need the smaller one, too! I love having all my stuff in one spot and just tossing the thing in my purse when I need to take knitting with me. The medium size is perfect for 10" straight needles and a scarf-in progress or pieces of a sweater. It is especially useful on an airplane because no one can see inside and my scissors are safe from other people's neuroses. A big bonus!



Thank you, Persnickity Knits! Now that I will soon be your neighbor, I am coming to the shop to pick out my Lu-Lu!!

Birthday!

October 29th was Andrea's birthday. And on November 1, we celebrated by going out for tea at the Horton Grand Hotel with her sisters and her moms. And at tea, I gifted her the AWESOME knitting needle case, notions bag, and project bag that I had sewn for her (per her request roughly six months ago -- I am NOT quick when it comes to commissions). Only I forgot to take any photos!

So, Andrea, I will leave it to you to snap a few pictures once your needles are in place, to share with the interwebs my handiwork.

I'm currently working on a series of these cases which I may one day put on Etsy, depending on how awesome I am. Just don't expect them to appear before the holidays, or you will be sorely disappointed.
