Baby Blue Sweater!
Had fun knitting a baby sweater for my soon to be cousin-in-law....he's going to be here in March! I know it looks a bit frilly but hopefully they can wear it while he's small... It's BLUE!
The baby shower was so cute! I forgot to charge my phone so I wasn't able to get very many pictures! :( so sad....

Making a needle holder for me!
Short needle holder
Making my own needle holder - sewing on vinyl. It's easy however you just have to take your time. I am not using a teflon foot, but just my regular sewing foot. I am adding the bias tape to the top edge of the pocket to hold the needles
Using a stabilo pencil which rubs off, I drew lines on the vinyl to mark where I'm going to sew for the needles
Bias tape extra wide double fold. It comes in many different colors. I chose black.
Getting ready to assemble all the pieces. There is a top flap that folds over. I copied this design from Ashland Sky, which I have several of their needle holders but I didn't want to spend the $$. However, I bought enough to make several so maybe it would've been better just to buy it.. yikes (they were out of the style that I wanted anyways, so this is my justification for spending$$)
My finished roll. (a bit long. I might cut it down.) or...maybe make another one! I need to get more bias tape. I used almost 2 full packages of bias tape!
