From Pattern Description:
This is a bit larger than your average pencil holder. I admit I’m a little OCD about office supplies—I like having tons of sharpened pencils, ballpoint pens, markers, and a few pairs of scissors within arm’s reach at all times. This is the perfect pencil holder for creative types who might easily misplace a pencil or two. (As the child of a highly creative mother, I couldn’t find a pen or pair of scissors in our house to save my life!) Make this holder to keep on your desk or to give to a creative friend. If you keep it stocked, you may never go hunting for your scissors again.
