Last Photograph:

Knitted Bobbin Holder pattern can be found on Ravelry.  This is a free Ravelry download.    I used Knitted Ribbons, a Knitter Bunny Pattern - Ribbon Three.   Instead of casting on 100 - I cast on 28 which gave me 12 openings for bobbins.  

Pattern c.2010 Kelli Slack ~ Knitter Bunny.
