wow! Great minds and all that! I've just recently had my husband make some pretty knitters' pouches as part of my Green Garter Collection :o) Your tips have been so useful in helping iron out problems we encountered! Thank you! xx

Wow, that is some interesting stuff people are using this knitting needle holder for. I guess I'll be boring and just make one for...knitting needles.
