All my moaning and complaining about lack of crafting time seems to have paid off! I have completed yet another little project, a knitting needle roll. It's my first attempt at a needle roll, and also my first attempt at piecing *gulp*. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it.

The roll is a gift for my mum who knits these wonderful colourful blankets for all the new babies in our life. She has knitted one each for my three little ones, these two belong to my two boys:
Aren't they gorgeous :)
The needle roll was inspired by Tania Howells' needle case in "The Crafter's Companion" edited by Anna Torberg.
CONGRATULATIONS My Dear....!
