Over the past 20 years I’ve acquired (and lost) a lot of circular needles. I did give interchangeables a try at one point, but somehow all that remains is a single matching pair of Denise needles.

For a while I used a big binder full of binder pouches for storage, but it was bulky, so I made this instead. I used handheld pipe cutters to cut lengths of 1 inch PVC pipe, glued them together and hung it on the back of a closet door hook with a cotton cord.

It is not the most visually appealing, but it works for me, and it sounds like a rainstick . The short pipes mostly have 16” and some 20/24”. The longer pipes are mostly 40” (I prefer magic loop, so I’ve got a bunch). Not pictured here are the many needles stuck in unfinished projects, lol.

    The honest answer is that I don’t, and they’re everywhere, and my life is a mess. But perhaps you have inspired me to get this one thing under control at least, so thank you 😅

      Dang, I felt that in my soul. I just ate a dry corn tortilla because I can’t seem to get my grocery act together and only half my lawn is mowed :)

        Last weekend my husband went on a trip and by day 3 was actually checking up to make sure I’d eaten real food rather than just treats. Yeah, I get you lol.
