Addicted to knitting stuff

As my daughter says..."Addicted Much?
This is a KING sized bed....

I was trying to find a pattern for a simple stitch that would make holes in the design to run knitting needles though in another project I am working on (felted knitting needle case found here http://berroco.com/exclusives/kable/kable.html). I am new enough that I cannot make cables..I tried, I failed horribly..I improvised. I came up with this pattern. It works and is super easy to do. But in the end, I decided a strip of another project that I had tossed would work seeing as how it was already done and collecting dust. It still needs to be sewn on and the whole thing needs to be finished off but that is for another day. I am sick of looking at that purple. Anyhow, here is the pattern...feel free to use it or ignore it..

First and second rainbows

Okay..so I have a thing for rainbows and bright colors. At least I know where my daughter gets it :)

Creation of rainbows

Okay, my daughter bought this rainbow purse. I love the thing. The company that made these, no longer makes them...I decided to try my own..and being a newbie knitter, it isnt fabulous but it is mine..
It's also not done..but will be soon enough.
