Bub's Newborn/Small MCN Collection

I have been waiting for my Honeyboy's to arrive before posting this. This is my baby's collection of MCN (fitteds, AIO's, Pockets, covers). I have not included the prefolds and flats as they aren't very interesting to look at and I am still in the proces of making some. I have also not included the woolies as I will do that separately in another post later. With the help of all the prefolds and flanny flats I am planning on washing ever 3rd day so there are HEAPS of covers here!

Needle Roll

Recently Finished Projects (most recent to oldest):

Needle Roll
I had some fun making this needle roll today after getting my last order of Addis in the mail.

I used the instructions from this website I found http://lupinbunny.blogspot.com/2007/02/needle-roll-tutorial.html and I made only a few minor adjustments.

If anyone is thinking of making one of these I would suggest counting how many of each type of needle you have before sewing the pockets on though. I was too eager to finish as my preggy belly and back were getting very sore from sitting.

If I had a do-over, these are the things I would do differently:
- 30cm Addi circs would fit better in a 3" pocket than a 2" one like I used.
- I would also make the bottom two pockets 1" longer and possible even put another pocket row in, as I don't have many really long needles.
