52 craft projects // circular knitting needle organizer


I just love combining my two favorite hobbies: knitting and sewing.
I made this knitting needle organizer to keep my interchangeable knitting needles organized. I made a knitting needle organiser back in 2011 but it's too small for my collection of knitting needles. Having too many knitting needles is a good excuse to make a new organizer, right?

There are 15 small pockets for interchangeable knitting needle tips in various sizes, as well as three large pockets for the cables and connectors. I have a couple of wips so the organizer would be full if I ever finished all my wips and stored the needles in here.

I'm using the knitpicks/knitpro symfonie knitting needles. I'm pretty happy with them but I've had quite a few broken needles last year. Their customer service is really great though - I've received several packages from India with new needles :)
Do you see the lonely red cable? I got a pair of Addi click lace needles to try at a fair and I LOVED them. I had a 3.5mm (US 4) needle that was perfect for knitting shawls. Unfortunately, someone stole them at a craft fair where I had my needles on display to demonstrate the knitting needle organizers I sell :(

Isn't the deer fabric the cutest? It's one of my favorite echino fabrics by kokka.
Where do you store your knitting needles?

  1. I have one similar that a friend made me, but it doesn't have those big back pockets. This is just super awesome ! I love it when people share their creations like this :)
