My biggest OCD trait is organization. Clutter makes me grumpy and I like for items to be stored neatly. This includes my knitting.
My mom knows this, so she dropped a little surprise in the mail this week. A new circ needle organizer! Made by the talented hands of my mother….
It’s made of up-cycled jeans, leftover quilt scraps, and some netting. There are eight….count’em eight pockets!
I pulled together all my plastic and wooden fixed circulars and loaded them in. Short circs in the inside pockets, wood on one side and metal on the other. And the longer circs live in the outside pockets, again wood on one side and metal on the other.
The case folds easily and the velcro is holding closed for now. I might be inclined to slip a rubber band around it, just to be sure. But I’m very happy that my circs are no longer stuffed into my straight needle case.
How do you store your circs?
My Tangled Yarn Knitting Adventures 
i keep them in their original transparent bag, which also has the needle details (size, length) – the bags are then stored in a flat-ish paper box.
i’ve seen someone storing those plastic bags in a wooden box (ikea), laid vertically so that they can be easily flipped through. it looked neat.
That of your mum’s a nice up-cycling project, the result looks very good.
Most of my circs are hand me downs with no packages. A very lovely lady literally handed me a zip lock bag FULL of random circs, lol
oh, that’s nice 🙂 i wish i had “inherited” them too… they can be quite expensive
The case looks so handy and organized! Your Mom did a great job!
very nice! Mine are currently shoved into a lot on my straight needle case, with the cords lying about willy nilly….I need to change that at some point lol
Your mum is a genius! That’s such a lovely, thoughtful gift.
Circs can be so expensive. Lucky you to get hand me downs.
Way cool, mom! I stick mine in the quart sized ziploc bags inside a decorative box with the rest of the knitting miscellany!
Love the case! My circulars hang off a pin on my cork board behind the study door – have a great needle case but not a circular one.
My circs are a mess. I need a mama like yours!
Well now I know how I should be storing my circs……I definitely need a case like yours! 🙂
Nice! … such a talented and thoughtful mom you have ❤
That’s really nice. I made a case for circulars, but never thought of using netting.
My circs are all in a zip bag and the “bags” they came in but those are starting to fall apart. Great idea and great design of your Mom’s upcycled denim case! The netting is genius. I just might have to make one for myself.
Thanks for sharing your surprise and talented Mom.
