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..

Great idea! I had been thinking of doing something like this for my circular needles. My plan was to hang it in my closet. I have all of my straight needles and dpn's in a vase on my coffee table, where I also have another vase of balls of yarn remnants and yet another vase of yarn remnants that aren't enough to make up a ball, but too much to just throw away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this pattern hun!

I have my mothers hanging makeup bag. It would work great for this. It is one of those travel-type ones that roll up with a zillion pockets. It hangs on a door or in a closet :)
