D.I.Y: knitting carrier

So here's a funny old upcycling project I made years ago... and just discovered while rummaging through our garage on the weekend.

Here's what you could get if you crossed Robin Hood with a supply of yarn/wool...

a knitting quiver. 

So how would you make me quiver you ask?

Well, I had a cardboard tube with a slip-on-lid from an old puzzle.  

You could use a shipping tube from a postal outlet... or hard plastic tube from an arts supply store (more money though).

I wrapped it in fabric and hot glued it secure.  I also tied and glued on a strap of knitted cording.

Having a hard tube helps keep your knitting needles from impaling you or the poor sucker beside you. 

Granted, it's not a very big storage space (so you can't keep your afghan stuffed into it).  It's good for the kind of projects I used to do when I was a knitting poser...you know,  like half-finished wrist-warmers, cup cozies. etc.

So there you have it... may your quiver be all a shiver with creative upcycling delight!

Knit-wit mama,
