Long time no posts!!
here's my latest update:
Completed: 4 no-sew grannies (me, Zac, Em & Mad); one no-sew teeny granny squares cushion front (gotta sew the back on and find a suitable huge cushion to fill it).
Current projects: Rainbow chevron blanket for me; purple, blue & white chevron for my nephew & niece-in-law-to-be as a wedding gift (needs to be completed for 21s May!! eek); lots of teeny little flowers to decorate the front of some knitting needle and crochet hook roll ups (need to be completed before 1st April!).
Busy busy busy!!
Now I have a question, which I'll get to in a minute. As I said just up there ^ I am making some needle and hook rolls. I am selling these at a community market in a couple of weeks. I posed a question on my facebook wall yesterday(?) about how to decorate the outside. Some suggested stamping (nope, the fabrics are textured), some said ribbons (they are tied with ribbon) and Rachel (Pepper) stated the obvious answer I should have thought of in the first place - crocheting a couple of little flowers. Well, derr me lol.
So, now I have settled on the little flowers (which I am quite enjoying making, by the way), my next question is: which side - left or right - should I sew them to??
Do you (or would you) roll yours from the left to the right or from the right to the left??? I roll mine from the left side to the right, so my own would be decorated on the outside of the right-hand side. But does everyone roll that way? Would that put off any lefties out there from using one that rolls up that way? Or is it as case of "6 of one, half a dozen of another?"

Don't know what a needle roll is? HERE is a link to a search in google images which might help
I have posted this question over in the Little Scrapbook Shop forums too, in the "Hookers & Knitwits Unite" thread.
That's my dilemma. Can anyone help?
