Most knitters own lots of knitting needles and a few of them have projects still on them (smile). We’ve found very creative ways of storing our needles—from plastic bins to wine cases to large glass canisters (normally used for keeping uncooked pasta) to everything in between. But, wouldn’t it be great to have a case that’s designed just for knitting needles? Well, you can find beautiful needle cases at your local knitting store; however, there’s nothing like making your own.

Alexandra’s Needle Case, made from a fabric stash or other fabric you purchase for just such a purpose, is a great example. The tutorial gives you step-by-step directions on how to sew a knitting needle case. You can modify the pattern to add or decrease the number of pockets required to store circular, double-pointed and long and short knitting needles. For even more creativity, add zippered pouches for bobbins, stitch holders and gauge counters and other knitting accessories.

The Thornberry blog has some excellent pictures of a Knitting Needle Roll made from beautiful fabrics in her stash. While sewing your own knitting needle case, make an additional one for a friend or donate it to a charitable fundraising event or auction.
