[Nfb-krafters-korner] Sorting Knitting Needle Sizes

[dianefilipe at peoplepc.com]

I got to go and play for a little while at a quilt shop here in Greeley
today, and found a pattern for a knitting needle holder.  It is made out of
fabric and rolls up to hold all of your needles.  I would be happy to make
anyone who wants one for $10, your choice of fabric!

I have found some cheaper ones at Walmart in the sporting goods section. 
They are sectioned as if to keep fishing flys separated.

At the container store you can find clear plastic boxes with long
sections.  You could sourt a few sizes in one of thes boxes.  Maybe
labeling it on the outside.  Walmart might have some in the container
section or sewing section.  In craft stores, they have boxes usually for
beads that you put in the sections, the size you want.
Just a few ideas.
Right now, I got a maybe 2/3 inch container at the container store and
have a few 16 needles and my cizzers.

Hi,
Would love suggestions on how everyone sorts their different sized
needles.
I have one of those cloth pouches with slots in it and a string that
wraps around them all, but I'm not totally crazy about it.  I'm sure
most of you don't put braille labels on your needles.  I'm trying to get
all sizes of Addie Turbo needles (they're truthfully my favorite) all
the different lengths and sizes.  Sometimes those plastic needle size
guides are great, but I can't always remember where I have one, so just
wondering how everyone organizes straight and circular needles.
Carolyn
