Circular Knitting Needle Holder and my knitting needle stash - Mostly Knitting Podcast

- In this video I show the knitting needles that I use and the storage solutions I have for them.
For circular knitting needles I tried a few methods and finally settled on one that I ACTUALLY use. Now I consistently put my needles away so I can always find what I need.
To borrow from Atomic Habits:
This storage solution is:
1. Visible (By having it visible, that is the cue that reminds you to use it)
2. Attractive (in the sense that it is appealing to have your needles organised and easy to locate the right one when you need it)
3. Easy (Takes seconds to put needle away and the needle sizer in the pocket adds to this - no barrier if the size isnt marked on it or you cant read it)
4. Satisfying (nice to not have a basket of unsorted needles)
I didnt use an actual tutorial for sewing the Hanging Circular Knitting Needle Holder, but i used these sites as inspiration:

The total dimensions of mine are 70cm x 22cm (27.5" x 9")
Each section where you slide a needle though is about 3cm tall (1.25").
Thanks so much for watching!

Oh my goodness! Your hanging needle arrangement made me gasp! Fantastic - love it.
Thank you so much Shona. I am just so happy to have found a strategy i actually use. :)
I like the hanging needle holder. If you sell them on ETSY I’m sure you will get a lot of hits!
Thank you so much. I think pretty much anyone with a sewing machine and some scraps of fabric can make one. :)
The Signatures were an absolute score!!!! Lucky you🎉 their tips are the best! ❤
Thanks! I did feel very fortunate. :)
I like that hanging storage idea. It certainly can hold a lot of needles.
Thanks for posting these storage ideas
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the storage ideas.
Thanks for showing your storage. Your home made storage is great and ill be making one soon. 👩🌾🐮🐑
I think you will be pleased with it. :)
It’s not about appearance as much as functionality. Great idea!
Thank you so much. Absolutely! I actually use this and find i am rarely wasting time looking for needles.
That is a perfect needle holder and I thought I had a lot of needles ha ha 💖❤
Hola, me parece una solución Excelente y por ello compartí el vídeo con mis amigas tejedoras! Muchas gracias por mostrarlo, es Encantador!! 💯😍❤️😘🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯
Thank you so much. And thank you for sharing with your friends. :)
@mostlyknitting Siempre que veo algo interesante, lo comparto. Muchas gracias por tu trabajo con el canal 🥰❤️😘
Oh my goodness what a lot of needles. Love your needle storage. Have to get the sewing machine out . Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much Jan. It is worth the time investment to make it as you save so much time looking for needles. :)
I saw Jana of Finnish Knitting stories with a hanging needle thingy so I copied it but was not fond of it's appearance, I hung it in my wool wardrobe. Out of sight. Perfect x
As long as it is easy to access and organised, i dont think it has to be on display. x
I bought a hanging circular needle holder years ago and actually ditched it. I use labelled pencil cases for my non-interchangeable needles, but since discovering chiagoo interchangeables several years ago, I almost always use them. Everything about them is so good. I almost never use by straight needles these days.
Thank you!
I use the same system and bought it on Etsy. It is a game changer and takes up no room.
Thanks Jeanine. I am glad to you have found this kind of solution works for you. :)
Ok that’s a great idea. I thinking I might have a go
Thank you so much. I think it is really worth the time investment. :)
Love this! Currently I’ve been putting the needles back into the packages, but I’m not sure how long that will last.
It is a good strategy but I found i really wanted the cables to smooth out and they didnt do that as well if i put them back in the packet. That, and i ended up with too many packets...
Great idea😮I need to buy a set of dpns (suggestions please).I also love the clear round glass containers that you have for bits of wool❤
Thank you so much. For dpns, I like my wood ones as i am usually using them for icord with only a few stitches and I want the slight grippiness of the wood (and the lighter weight compared to metal) so the dpns arent sliding out of the stitches. I am pretty sure the set i have are Knitters Pride. Maybe this link www.knitpro.eu/en/double-pointed-needle-sets
Love this! I have the same in a binder but it's over run now. Where to hang it ? Can't say but I will find a way to. Bravo Tash, good one. Your collection is overwhelming.😊
Thank you so much. The best thing for me is that it is organised. :)
You solution is great. Far better than mine, which is toilet paper tubes and tape.
Whatever works! It is the same principle really. :)
