A knitting needle roll

It always goes on my nerves how my knitting needles are all lying in a big chaotic bundle in my knitting needle-case... if I want double pointed needles nr. 3,5 I´ll have to search forever... and if I´m lucky enough I´ll find 5 of them...
Therefore I´ve been searching a good, free knitting needle roll-tutorial on the internet for a while now - and today the big day arrived: I finally made my very own knitting needle roll, mixing up those 2 tutorials: madebyloulabelle and lupinbunny.

I had to adapt the roll to my needs, since I never, ever use those 2, really long needles... this is the result and I´m really happy with it. The only thing I would do different next time is, to use thinner fabrics... maby just a thick one for the outside and thinner ones for the rest.

At last, I can find all the needles I need... I just can´t wait to make another one for my circular needles... just have to find the right fabrics...

  2. thank you Hilde! It´s so frustrating sometimes, looking for the right needles when they are all mixed up... right?? :-D

    I´d love to see pics if you make something similar!!! I like the fabric too, I got the orange one in IKEA - they really do have nice fabrics!

  3. Love your creativity. I have sooo many needles (inherited ones from grandmother and mother as well as ones I've purchased) so think I would need at least 3 of your holders. Am just starting a reorganization of circulars. Too many for present holder. Probably should stop buying more, right?!

  5. Thank you Judi A. and Inna! :-) +
    Judi A:
    Thank you soooo much for your kind words! :-) Just like you, I still have a lot of needles, lying around in a chaotic pile... I guess, I need at least 3 of those too! But the first step is done! I think bigger pockets would be better for circulars...

    Inna: I really like this fabric (from IKEA)... maby it´s because of the birds? Birds make almost everything pretty! :-)
