My roomate has bought knives that not only must be hand washed (yuk) but also cannot be stored in the drawer with all my apparently inferior knives, so I came up with this last night when I finally got fed up with seeing them lying atop the kitchen bar. It matches my jeans potholder, and it's pretty funky, so I like it. I may explore this idea further for my Etsy shop. I became obsessed with hanging things on the wall when I lived in my studio apartment in New Orleans; I hung everything from kitchen stuff to my answering machine. I have a little more room here, but my kitchen is still tiny enough to touch the walls standing still, so I do hang all the measuring cups and spoons, bowls, cutting boards, etc.
ha, awesome idea. I have been wondering what to do with those extra knives that push around in drawers. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I hope they don't cut through the tabs/point pockets!

Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, yall. nifwlseirff, it seems secure enough for now, but you're right, if I ever make another I'll put in a folded piece of metal covered with fabric for reinforcement. When I made coveralls for Nasa, we put sewed a piece of something called Armalon in the tip end of the knife pockets. Why didn't I remember?
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely brilliant. 1940s British Make Do and Mend (Look Marjorie! She's made a swimsuit out of dusters!) had nothing on you.
