You know you want one of theses. Now you can make your own and one for a friend. Remember the post a while back when I showed you my new holder that I made? Well, now I have made a video so you can make your own. Check out this latest video on how to make a double point knitting needle holder on Knitwith.us.

Look what I made! Not the knitted Mohair cuff. Although, I did make that too. The cuff is from the book Lace Style that was gifted to me recently for my birthday. It is made to be worn underneath a sport coat for a little extra femininity and flair. I was about to bind off this cuff and start on the other one when I realized that I hadn’t shown you what I made recently. These frog double point needle protectors are fabulous and cute, too. They were so much fun to make and so easy too. What do you think?

I needed a floor stand for my daylight lamp and decided that I did not want to drop $60+ on a metal one so, as usual, I looked around for something I could use to make one myself. This is what I came up with.


The log is from a cedar tree here on the property that we were cutting up for firewood. I figured how tall I needed it and Scott cut it to length for me. Then it was just a matter of sanding it down and putting on several coats of polyurethane to seal it. I drilled a hole for my lamp to fit in and viola! This was my first attempt at any creative woodworking outside of cutting molding pieces, etc. I think It turned out great and it works beautifully.
