Last night I decided to switch gears from practicing single crochet to sewing. Actually, I didn't totally switch gears away from crochet because I decided to whip up a couple crochet hook rolls.
I pulled out a good ol' Martha Stewart dishtowel with apples on it. I have been hoarding a few of these towels for a while. I didn't even use them in my massive holiday sewing project - they are really hard to give up, but the cheery green apples were perfect for the project and helped brighten up a very snowy evening.
Less than an hour after I started, I had two pretty crochet hook rolls. One will soon be on its way to its recipient... and the other could be on its way to you! Just comment on this post by noon CST Friday with the top three things on your Crafty To Do List and I will pick a winner.
And I promise it looks better and brighter in person than in the picture I took with my iPhone... I am seriously ordering a new camera today.
I love the apples on the roll - too cute!
My crafty to do list keeps getting longer right now the top there are to: finish the leg warmers I'm knitting for my daughter, sew a blanket for my friend's baby and sew a doll for my daughter. Now, if only I could stop time for a bit

Woohoo! I'm so excited! Thank you so much!
I love that pattern too. How come I never find cute towels like that?
I've been sick this week and seeing this really lifted my spirits.
Thank you. :)

I've been crocheting hats for Head Huggers - an organization that donates hats to hospitals to be given to people going through chemo - and this hook roll would be a great way to organize myself!
Here's my list ...
1) finally finish the curtains for my living room
2) finish piecing a baby quilt
3) use up more of my yarn supply for Head Huggers

Wowee...i love the fabric (colors and print) and the idea of rolling up all the hooks to keep them safe. Awesome idea!!!

My three things:
1) Finish the neck warmer I am making (I only need to sew on three buttons, but I am wanting the PERFECT buttons).
2) Make a smaller version of the neck warmer for my daughters.
3) Make a cowl for my grandmother while she can still use it (i.e. it is still cold outside).
and can I throw a 4th one in here? FIND out HOW you made this ADORABLE thing out of a towel?!?! ;)

This is so cute! Funnily enough, one of the top items on my "to-craft" list is a crochet hook roll! I also need to make myself a knitting needle roll, and I'd like to get started on a dress that I chose the pattern and fabric for back in October, but I've not yet started on (Christmas crafting got in the way!).
Thanks for the chance to win - the roll is fantastic!
