A Needle Case

dpn case 1

A needle case to hold my dpns.

I’ve needed a case for my dpns for some time, and frustration got the best of me last week and so, I created one.   The needles were initially stored in a small pink pouch along with most of my notions.  The single pocket container left little room for storage so with the needles out of the way, my notions now have room to breathe.

A consequence for not drawing one’s plans out at the onset resulted in an omitted top flap to help secure the dpns in place.  My solution: wrap the darn thing as tightly as possible, be extra-careful when handling (yeah, right), and perhaps, make a second case that will include the flap… when time again permits.

In Gram news, the little guy is nearly two months old and growing like a cornstalk - I didn’t want to say “weed” because, frankly, no parent, at least not I, wants to compare their child to a weed.  Gram now weighs a hefty 12 lbs (my arms and back are feeling it!) and has grown two full inches, from 21.5 in to 23.5. He currently spends a lot of time talking to himself, mommy, and daddy.  He laughs and chuckles.  He also found some buddies - his hands, which spend most of the time in his mouth.

    He’s gorgeous. But this picture does make me think of your mother’s prediction–the one you wrote about on January 1. He definitely looks like he’s planning some mischief.

    Or how about an ‘afterthought’ flap? Sure the baby is adorable but those needles getting free might poke him and where would we be then?
