[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Ideas for numbering and organizing needles.

[Judy Jones]

Hi Again,

 

Requesting help from knitters.  I would like ideas on how you all keep your
needles numbered and organized.

 

Back in the day when I only had 3 or 4 pair, the ends had some distinctions
that allowed me to keep them straight.

 

However, over the years I have amassed quite a collection of straight
needles.  I tried making dimo-tape braille flag-tags with the braille on
them at the end of each needle, but they aren't staying.

 

I do have a knitting gauge that I can use to help me determine needle size I
got off Amazon, but tends to be time consuming when culling through a pile
of needles.

My rounds, I keep in zip-lock bags with their size in a braille label on the
front, but what to do with all the myriad of straight needles I just pulled
out of years of storage?

 

Thanks again.
