This past August, I was struggling to find the perfect gift for Darrell's birthday and realized something useful and related to his music would be perfect. I researched a bit and embarked on a wonderful project of crocheting a quiver for him. His was black and green (and definitely not as bold as this one), but it was made with love and he still uses it, so I'm going to go ahead and say he's a fan. In case you didn't know, a quiver is used for bassists as a "holster" for their bows when they are not using them (I've included a photo of a standard one below). Anyhow, I guess word got around to his friends in the music department and some of them asked me to make a quiver for another bassist at the school for his birthday!
Project requirements included making a quiver (obviously), but also using neon colors and a fun/creative pattern. I ended up drafting my own pattern based on the dimensions of various websites that sold quivers. As for the stitch, I used the "Catherine Wheel Stitch," which I am a huge fan of and just learned for this project!
Judging from what I've heard about this guy's colorful personality and affinity towards bright colors like neon green, purple, and yellow, I think he may like this. I'll update to let you know if he does! :)
Looks great :)
