Polka Dot Swap

How could I resist polka dots?   OK, how could I resist another Popular Crafts swap!   Well anyway….

I was partnered with @artesania62, another tweep who I follow already.   Reading her bio, knitting and learning to crochet are her things, as well as bright colours, going out and things that are useful.

On one of my not so rare trawls through Hobbycraft, I found a bright fat quarter bundle with a matching polka dot fat quarter bundle.   I’ve been wanting to try a knitting needle roll for ages so thought that fulfilled all her wants.   After a research trip through some online tutorials, I came up with this.

I was so pleased how it came out, and amazed that I had coordinating bias binding in my stash!   I will definitely be making my own version for the website.

The crochet needles are her treat, although looking at her gorgeous crocheted creations recently, she’s not a beginner any more!

Wrapped up, the roll looks like this.

I posted it first class on Wednesday and was the first person at the post office as it opened.   However her meany postman didn’t deliver it on Thursday so I’ve had to wait longer to see if she likes it.

I’m already signed up for the Strawberry Swap so can’t wait to see who my swap partner is this time.
