Despite being an obsessed crocheter myself, I am not completely averse to making things for knitters.  Such as this knitting needle roll.

I promised I’d make one for my friend’s mother absolutely ages ago (well over a year ago, I suspect).  Finally it’s done.  However, I need to say no more often when others ask me to make something for them – there are so many things I want to make for myself, the girls and for gifts that those little jobs for other people really add up and become duty sewing rather than enjoyment sewing.  I don’t like that feeling – sewing should always be fun!  Anyway, I made this following this tutorial. The outer fabric is from Joel Dewberry’s Chestnut Hill line (a couple of seasons old).

Looks wrinkly when it’s unrolled, doesn’t it!  The inside fabrics are a mix from my stash.  One of the best features of this design is the flap at the top to stop needles from falling out.  I hope that she likes it, now that it’s finally done!
