knitpicks needle cases, my own design

I have been trying a little venture to sell my (highly superior, in my opinion) needle cases for the Knipick and Addi Click interchangeable knitting needles.I found that the plastic case they came in to rigid and to slick. My needles kept sliding out and I would end up with a mess. I had to use the needle sizer constantly and the plastic was just plain ugly. My case zips securely closed. Has room for all your needle tips, notions, scissors, needle sizer, tape measure, stitch markers, extra cords, end tips, etc. Every thing in a pretty cloth case that I just grab and toss into my knitting bag or basket when I need to leave the house. Please let me know what you think. You can click on the link and go to my Etsy store and see the other fabrics available.

Pretty in Pink

Picnic Table finally posted the lace shawl (and is writing this in the third person to maintain the continuity of her momma's blog). She says her favorite thing about it, besides the exquisite detail of the knitting and the vibrant color, is the smell.

She's so weird.

Thank God it's friday. Birthday boy is on his way to a local hot springs to take a workshop, play music and gaze at lovely naked women (I suppose) I am stuck in town because the diva is singing in a talent show, and then on to a rehearsal for a fund raiser for girls trapped in the sex trade in a third world country. Worthy cause, so I am being a good sport about all the driving I have to do. Park bench is working late, and has been wonderful about tutoring the diva so she can pass her classes. The blond is at home in the big city and I hope to visit her soon. I have been knitting a mindlessly boring tube scarf from some beautiful ombre wool I got at "Stitches West" a couple of weeks ago. That was a fun day. I spent it with She Likes Oranges and had a lot of fun. I got some Malabrigo Laceweight in a Shocking Pink color and can't wait to start a new lace shawl. I am just waiting for inspiration. I am hosting the stitch and bitch at my house tomorrow afternoon. The weatherman predicts that we will have temps in the 80s. It should be a nice afternoon. I can't wait to put my feet up and knit for a few hours.
