I often like to have a candlelit room as it helps me relax in the evening. Tonight was no exception, but I thought the arrangement of the contrast of light and shadows was worth taking photos of.
Been a true 'professional' I started to experiment with the camera function on my mobile to see what kind of effects I'd get.
I find the black&white effect in the above photo quite striking, almost like a negative of a photo.

Another knitting needle holder.....
Yep, I lony went and made another - this time for my work colleague, who knows
a hell of a lot more about knitting than I do.....
This time, I got 2 different tea towels and sewed them together round the edges, before sweing the different sections.
My colleague was well chuffed when she received it, as she was just thinking of buying hersedlf one....
Guess I saved her a few bob.....

Knitting needle holder
I was inspired by this idea after seeing a picture of a knitting needle holder in the 'Hobbycraft' magazine. As it looked so simple yet ingenius, I thought I'd give it a go, using the sewing machine I have finally mastered (long story covered in my other blog).
I have basically taken a tea towel, folded it lengthways to the appropriate lenght i.e. so that my longest needles will fit, sewed the 2 ends along where the towel was folded, then made 1 inch wide compartments by sewing in the same direction - to keep needles seperate.
Et voila!!
Even the cat was impressed, though personally I think she would prefer to use it as a scratching post....
