365: Make a Book a Day by Donna Meyer

“Project inspired by Noah Scalin’s Skull-a-Day. A book can be made of almost anything, and I can stretch its definition. Some will be fancy, skilled and take time. Others will be quick-&-dirty, maybe just images, or ephemeral, disappearing books.

The whole point is not really the books. The idea is to expand myself in many ways as an artist and a person, to set up a discipline, stick with it and see what that teaches me.”

So, after searching forever for a tutorial or pattern for a knitting needle case for interchangeable needles, I finally decided to design my own. I knew it needed to have separate pockets for the cables and somewhere to keep the needle pairs so this is what I came up with! The pocket accordion velcros to the front of the first needle pocket flap and that one has velcro keeping it secured to the needle pocket in back. That one is sewed to the case itself and has an extra pocket behind it. I also put in a small pocket for tiny things in the back of the last cable pocket.

(Pocket no longer sounds like a word to me.)

The whole thing is made out of felt, with the outer case reinforced with that plastic mesh people sometimes cross stitch on. It’s a simple design but it’s working out perfectly! I’m super proud of it.

Sorry about the ‘SkillzMcFly’ url stamped all over the pictures. I was having fun with that font and I went overboard. I love that it looks like those plastic labels though!

Do you work in a very small space like I do? I would love to see some pictures of your solutions to a really small work space. These solutions come to us from an article on  Living simply
