not spam, so please don't think that!

Stacy and I just opened our hyenacart

I am doing stitch markers, knitting needle rolls, and will at some point be adding crochet hook rolls too.

now, I have made my own pattern to fit *MY* knitting specifications, but what would *YOU* be looking for?

are my stitch markers too big? too pricey?
how about the rolls?

I have the flip down part graduated so that :
1) your needles won't fall out
2) when you roll it, the end is not sticking out all the way (if that makes sense to you at all! LOL)

the smaller circular needle holder snaps closed
in my newer circular pattern, I have a spot to put DPN's also...

is there any other things I should add into it? what would you be looking for? should I do a package deal with both types of rolls?

Thanks mamas! I am hoping to have more fabric options for rolls up soon too.

I really like your stich markers and in fact wanted to order some- but, got stuck with an unexpected car repair on my new to me (ie used car) that I was finally able to get this month. But next month I will- do you take requests for some custom colors if I were to put down a deposit?

I also like the way you have made the holder for dpn. I have mine all crammed into a large plastic ziplock baggie right now.

One of the only things I would change if you are looking for feedback it to remove the date from your pictures- can you crop it out, or photoshop it out(I have photoshop and can help with that if you need me too).

I would include a package deal that would have both rolls in it- or maybe a set that had rolls and also stitch holders.

Could you have a "custom spot" where people sent you the material and then you made it up for them. Maybe someone has some favorite material that they have been saving for a long time waiting for the perfect thing to use it for?

That's all I can think of. LMK about a custom spot for stitch holders. I'm really interested as I have been doing more and more knitting for my upcoming baby. I think I should splurge and use something a bit nicer that the twisty ties from produce bags. I would want something with stars and red, white, and blue beads. Kind of like that set that was displayed in your sold category.

Thank you Tawnya!
I fixed the pictures

I will add a custom spot for rolls and stitch markers. I think that is a great idea!

I love the circ needle roll! Mine is a combo for straight and circs and it still has some life in it, otherwise I would snap that up ihn a heartbeat. My only suggestion would be to add on a small pocket for markers/needles/scissors, etc. I like that when I grab my roll I don't need to worry about a seperate container for notions, too. The stitch markers are perty!

I think holders just for dpns are good too. I have holders for my regular needles, and a case for my circs, but my poor dpns are a mess.
