So here’s my solution to storing circular needles in their ‘not in use’ place. Index cards, a stapler, a binder clip thingy, and something to make it stick to the wall. I was thinking of breaking out the sewing machine and making something a little nicer, but I saw the index cards before I got to the sewing machine so they took over. Just sort of bent them without creasing and attach one to the one before it with a staple. It works for me!

an ongoing failure in paying attention
wow!!! that is great! i was also thinking of busting out the sewing machine but your idea is fantastic! do you keep them arranged by size? did you write the size on the index card?
I sort of arranged them small to large, but there are a few oddballs in there too, like the cro-hook thingy. I thought about writing the mm on the cards, but I have a gauge nearby (in an old plastic box that Costco peppermint patties came in, the storage box for all my dps and unused tools) so I use that to check for size before I start a project. The system is working for me, for the time being.
What a great idea!
very ingenius idea! thanks for the tip
WOW that’ such a nifty idea!! I’ve been wanting to sew myself a large one, since the yarn shop wants too much to buy one, but haven’t had the time. This would work great in the interim!
