For the first time yesterday afternoon, Daddy took Cohen on a play date with friends and left Mummy at home to do as she pleased. Having spent the past 15 months with Cohen by my side on all be a few occasions, it is still such a strange feeling to be without him. I thought of the perfect distraction...
With my time alone I finished this crochet hook roll in about and hour and enjoyed getting back to my sewing machine to make something for myself.
I had a little helping taking photos of it this morning. Even the cat wanted to be in on the action, pushing a paw in to the last photo.
I have been wanting to make a roll like this for my growing crochet hook collection for quite awhile. I have seen some lovely ones around and I was inspired by Amy's choice of fabric for her crochet case. I made the roll without a pattern, using three fat quarters from my stash and
letting the fat quarters be the guide for the size. It was so simple and quick.
If anyone is interested in a tutorial for this project let me know and I can write one up with the next one I make.
It is a little strange when we get some time alone . Your time was spent well the roll is great .
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI don't crochet but seeing this make me wish I did!
Lovely indeed! Awesome colours and beyond beautiful fabrics. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in a tutorial... I'm gathering a collection of crochet hooks too - even though really I only use the one!
It's nice to have that time to yourself, good for you! I love what you've done with your time, too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to have a bit of 'me' time!
ReplyDeleteit's so beautiful, I think a tutorial would be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it be easy to make, if only I had a running sewing machine! But yes, a tutorial would be great for when I can.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea as I am always misplacing my hooks.
definately like your crochet bag,I 'd have one like .Yvonne
ReplyDeleteHI!Love the crotchet roll - great photography too....especially the little hand (and paw). How much can we get done in an hour without little ones?? And how good it is when they come home. Elizabeth X
ReplyDeleteThe stripe works fantastically with the birch print! Great choices. It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAhh, the time alone is magic and when they get home is magic too. A perfect balance.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric and what you did with it is beautiful.
