It's A Knitting Needle Roll, Y'all

It's finally done. :) You probably already guessed this fabric would be a needle roll. I'd seen several on other knitters' blogs, and their needles looked really neat and organized so I decided I should make one. The pattern is here if you would like to make one for yourself or a gift for a knitter. It's a bit of work, but it's definitely worth the effort. You can't see the black in the print of the cloth very well in the pic, but it's there so I made a black tie.
My sewing machine got a little cranky with the thickness of all the layers, but I won. ;) Well, sorta; it's not the best sewing in the world, but it's holding.
Unfolded in all its knitful glory. Many thanks to the designer for sharing the pattern!

Have a great weekend, Y'all!
Linking up with May Sewing Party.

    That is such a beautiful needle roll. You were smart to find directions so you would have something to go on. I just winged the one I made a while back. It's ok, but it does have some issues that had I known or thought about it more I would have done it differently.

    I love it! I can't wait to make one. Thanks for sharing. It's also nice to meet a fellow knitter from my neck of the woods. I'm on the plateau...
