I know most of us knitters are less than enthusiastic when it comes to sewing, but sadly most knits require a little sewing. I was thrilled when Simply Knitting asked me to design some pretty sewing accessories for knitters. I was really really really pleased when my copy of the magazine arrived. My designs had become a self-contained pattern leaflet to accompany the cute free gift, a tape measure in a tin.
I used some left over sock yarn for this set, it gave me some interesting colour whilst keeping it simple.
Pin Cushion Jar Lid
Sewing Needle Wallet
Scissor Keeper
Staying with the keeping organised theme, I have also designed some hanging baskets. These are also featured in issue 117 Simply Knitting. The baskets each take one ball of Rowan All Seasons Chunky.
All so lovely, particularly like the hanging baskets 🙂 Rebecca
Thank you, the yarn colours are lovely 🙂
loved the idea of pin cushion jar lid in simply knitting but can’t get lid to close. Any suggesions
Hello 🙂 did you use the same jar and yarn? Can you send me a picture so I can take a look?
Where can I order this magazine? I’ve looked and looked. Your help is much appreciated
