    Just make another box to roll the finished piece into! you probably still have a bit of the knitting needled left, eh?

    Is there a reason for using paper behind the fabric? Couldn;t you just sew the fabric together without the paper?

    Brilliant, thanks for sharing! And to think I gave an entire box of these rolls to Goodwill just a few months ago.
