Denise Fabric Needle Case/Organizer

by

I recently ordered the Fabric Organizer bag from Denise.
Definitely one of the best organizer bags for knitting I’ve come across. It’s roomy enough for the whole plastic Denise Needle Case if you want to put it in there, but you won’t need to. This organizer has sleeves for your different needle sizes and clear plastic zippered compartments. Nothing falls out!
Both interior and exterior zippers are very sturdy.

There are 2 snap out clear plastic zippered pockets to take with you, if you don’t want to take the whole bag. There is more room than you can imagine in this fabric organizer. You can easily carry all of your accessories and will even fit intructions and yarn for a small project. I was hesitant to spend the money on this organizer but it seemed to be just what I was looking for, the selling point that put it on my list – Made in the USA.
I’ve never regretted spending the money on this bag.
The needle sleeves are not labeled with sizes, but this was easily accomplished with a gel pen ;-).
This comes in 4 different colors, and you can see more pics at knitdenise.com

    Christmas comes to Ohio a little earlier this year.

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
