This is really cute. I definitely want to make this. It is perfect for a crocheter or knitter . You could switch the knitting needles for hooks, if you wanted. This is also a really quick, great gift for someone you know who shares the love of the craft. Who wouldn't want to display this proudly?

Marvelous! This is really easy but creative. I like the different shades of green!
