Birthday giveaway

Hello ladies!

As you know, I had a big fat birthday last week and to celebrate I am giving away a crochet hook roll. I made it this morning and still not perfect but, hey, it does the job and the fabric is so pretty. The rose fabric is vintage Laura Ashley. I also put a little felt needle pocket on this one. It holds 14 hooks and has two large-ish pockets for scissors and tape measure...or emergency bar of chocolate. I guess it could also be used for double pointed knitting needles. Have a look.....







If you would like this hook roll, then please leave a comment letting me know. Feel free to share this on your own blogs. I will select a winner (name in hat) next Wednesday.

(note to self...learn how to take decent photos)

Enjoy the rest of your week!
