I sewed white tape down the middle of one of the strips. Then I put the 2 strips together, tape side out and sewed across the tape in 1 inch spaces. There is plenty of room to write the needle size on tape between stitches and plenty of room to slide all my multiples in the 1 inch spaces because only the nylon centres rest behind the tape. I sewed a loop on the top and hang it on a nail. It takes no space and looks fabulous and funky. I got 2 strips of fabric about 20 inches by 5 inches, sewed down the sides and turned them inside out.

You have inspired me to finally just get rid of them! :) I have an old set of interchangeable needles that I hate and never use. You have inspired me to finally just get rid of them! :)

My Knitter's Pride needles are in a case made from a Vera Bradley paperback book cover. http://chrisknits.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/oh-the-wind/ It is handy, small, and fits all I need, except for the US13 needles. They are just a mite too long to fit in the case. But I rarely need them at the drop of a hat, so I store them in the bait bag. As it is, I really don't need the fixed circs anymore. Just for the sizes under US4. My fixed circs and dpns are in a bait bag from Bass pro shop.

I have a Della Q bag which ties but needles still fall out of it. I'd like something that works better. I’d love to have a way to store multiple circular needles.
