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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Welcome Judy;

How about a note book with pencil cases for each size of needle you have.
Put braille on each pencil case or use pen friend labels.

Put multiple lengts of the same size in the same case.
Use hair alastics on the ends instead of rubberbands.  They will keep your tips together, be handy to hold you project together and do not leave residue on your needles.

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.

 

Judy
