I have been working on a knitting needle bag design to add to my knitting and sock project bag - and this is it.
It has a flat base so it can sit on a table or are of of chair in either open or closed position. This means you can easily put in/take out needles with one hand and it takes up very little space.
These bags should be on sale on my website Roseland Bags by the end of this month at which time I will be
running a competion, the winner will be able to choose a needle bag to be made up from available fabrics as I know some knitters will have a knitting bag and/or sock bag already.TNT Customer Service (is there such a beast?)
My most precious of possessions is a beautiful computerised Bernina Activa 140 which I use to make my bags. Lately, I have been worrying about how I could cope with orders if it broke down so I bought a Bernina Record 830, the creme de la creme of mechanical sewing machines from a shop down south (Just Sew).
The sewing machine was transported by TNT, although there was an existing crack at the base of the case, TNT managed to smash the case beyond repair. The reason I am including this in my blog is to warn other about how they will refuse to pay out any compensation for items they damage unless you open the package in front of the driver and sign for as damaged. Ofcourse, no one tells you this - certainly not the driver who would never get his deliveries done! But TNT hide behind the phrase 'it's in our terms and conditions'.
The most distressing part is that these cases are impossible to replace.
The shop I bought it from have been really splendid and very helpful and I would fully recommend them - but if you are expecting a delivery via TNT - make sure you make the driver wait while you open it.
