[Nfb-krafters-korner] Idea for Circular Needle Storage

[Denise Shaible]

Linda,

this is a good idea.  I recently bought a knitting caddy at Joann's but the 
circular needles don't really fit very well in it.  I really like the idea. 
Plus, the needles tend to get mixed up and then I can't remember what size 
they are.  thanks.

Regards,

Denise

I am a member of "Fiber Minds" on Face Book. It is a very unique group of 
fiber artists and it is the most uplifting and wonderful group of artists 
imaginable. The special page was initiated by designer Onix Traverino, for 
those who are in-the-know about fiber designers.

Anyway, I wanted to share here a great idea I just read there.  To store 
your circular needles efficiently, go to the Dollar store and buy those 
pencil pockets that are made for binders. They are vinyl and see-through and 
have the three holes for putting into a binder, and a zipper type of closure 
to keep pencils inside.

Put your circular needles in the pouch - one size per pouch. You can label 
the pouch with the size of the needle. I put the needle size and the length 
of the needle there on my information tag. You can do it with Braille, or if 
you can see some contrasts (like me) you can use a very big marker on paper 
and put the paper tag inside with your needles.

Then, place them according to size, in a binder. This is so efficient and 
neat.  Circular needle storage has always been one of my aggravations - I 
have tried a number of ways to store them in the past but nothing compares 
to the neat and efficient way of doing is like this does. I am a person who 
has to have things very neat and organized - disorder of any kind makes me 
crazy! lol

Thought you might like this little tip. Also, the Fiber Minds group will be 
allowing new members in at this time if you are a serious fiber worker. If 
you are interested, let me know and I will recommend you. It is a closed 
group. It is for serious discussions on the fiber arts, not teaching or 
classes or not for advertising anything for sale or promoting anything but 
the love we all have for fibers.
