Needle Storage

Week 8 = Knitting Accessories
Day 6 = February 24, 2014

     When knitting a project, it sometimes misbehaves by making you drop a stitch, or you get all excited about that project you saw your friend knitting. This means you need more knitting needles... the horror. Now that you have to get more knitting needles, where will you put them when you finish?

     I have 3 examples for you tonight. A Namaste container, a 3-ring binder and a roll-up case.

 

     This name brand knitting needle container is the cream of the crop. It has 30 slots and tabs so that you can easily label the slots.

     The 3-ring binder setup is the genius idea of my friend Claudia. It uses a Staples brand 1" mini binder and Martha Stewart Home Office™ with Avery™ Secure-Top™ Sheet Protectors, 2 Pockets for the smaller needles and 1 Pocket for the bigger needles. This setup can hold as many needles as you have as long as you get more binders and sheet protectors.

 

     This roll-up case is wonderful for double pointed needles. There is a flap that folds over the needles to prevent them from possibly falling out. This case has 14 slots. As you can see above, the slots are narrower on the left and wider on the right to grow with the needle size. I also love the Velcro band that secures it because Velcro means it is adjustable to however many needle sets you have in the case.

Bonus storage/decoration idea!
