Hi Everyone;
Sorry if I was a little harsh in my previous message, but I had no
control and did not know what was going on when my messages were not
coming up.

Joyce;
I have seen cases at craft shows for scissors.  You would have to buy
the scissors and make the case to fit.  The ones I have seen had the
scissors sticking out on one side and they were shaped like a triangle
so the scissors would fit in snugly.  Since they fit in snugly, they did
not need a means of closing.

I think your idea for something for knitting needles could be done by a
quilter.  I use a change purse or a pencil case for my needles.  Walmart
sells a cheap large case that I keep what I am working on, a few
neddles, a pair of folding scissors and sometimes some scraps of yarn.
I am guessing, but I would say they are over a foot long and about 8
inches high.  I also use ziplock bags for finished jobs.  

About the needle threader, try the NFB.  I think they have one, but it
might be smaller than your description.

I have found when doing plastic canvis, size 16 needles can be threaded
by hand with out any threader.  The eye is big enough to get the yarn
through and not to big to fit between the bars of the canvis.

Off to main campus shortly.  Talk to you all later.

Terry Powers

Hi,
 
I have received 5 emails about your cases.  So I guess they fixed the
NFB Server.
 
Many thanks for your Ad.
 
Do you make anything like this that could have a way to close the top
off  in some type of fashion?  I think this would be a great thing to
hold a  pair of scissors in and with the yarn on it you could put your
sewing type  needles pinned to it.  Something  like the eye glass cases
that shaped  like and envelope?  You could make it out of a triangle
shape.
 
Think about this and let me know.
 
Joyce
