I found this pretty patten on Ravelry and it is available as a free download. It looks like just the job for keeping all your crochet bits and bobs neat and tidy and ready to had. I think it is also nice a portable for 'Crochet on the go'. I always have too many craft projects on the go but this was a 'quick make' in between making 'Granny Squares.

I used some more of my 'Lucy Pack' of Stylecraft. I have really enjoyed the colours in this pack and it has been worth every penny. Beautiful colours that work well together all chosen and coordinated for you. I have never made crochet flowers before and I found these quick and cute.
I knew I would have to block this;
I was very worried as I have 'killed' acrylic more than one in the past. I searched Ravelry for 'How to Block Acrylic' and this website was very useful.

I followed the advice carefully and managed not to commit acrylic murder.
The fun part was filling the case.

The more I read your posts Luce the more I realise what a talented sister I have. This crochet case is brill :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bro, flattery will get you everywhere! :)
ReplyDeleteFlattery enough to get you to help me use a knitting loom to make some hats.....? :-)xxx
ReplyDeleteWeird the word verification for the above comment was 'capitsul' thats what I want to do make and sul mean sell some caps lol.....could be a sign hmmmm just a coincidence lol again :-)
ReplyDeleteI love word verifications, I think someone should make a dictionary or write poetry, Twas Brillig and all that jabberwocky. I have never used a knitting loom but am willing to learn via Youtube tutorials. Also this website looks a cool place to start 'Gettinitpegged.com'.
ReplyDeleteLucy this is simply amazing! I already have a hook thing like this but I'm so going to make a travel jewellery case or similar like this :-) Thanks for the inspiration! x
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks handy.
ReplyDeleteBtw, those crochet flowers. If you make them out of cotton then you can use them in place of cotton wool if you do a cleanse/tone/moisturise for face care. (I don't, I wash with a facewash, but it always seemed like a really fab idea and pretty too)
