Knitting Chart Holder

OMG, I am SO excited! I'm leaving for California tonight and I want to take my knitting but my chart holder weighs nearly a pound and it really makes my bag heavy. I decided to make my own version and this came out at half the weight - whoot! Plus mine is a million times prettier than the plain old black commercial one. I am going to make some revisions to it when I get home and then I'm going to release it as a pattern! Yay!


Closed - obviously, lol - this is some of the material I made at the Summer Arts Festival

Open :) - the chart side is magnetic - the other side has a pocket to hold your pattern




Standing up - the strap reverses to keep the holder standing open

Such a brilliant idea!! I am so glad your muse has finally returned. Loved your altered paint brush holder as well. Have a lovely trip.

Never thought of actually making my own chart holder - amazing!!
I'm totally going to make one of these, I've been searching everywhere for a decent guide - sticky notes just DON'T work well enough!!!
Thanks for the idea - great project for the next week :)
