Not long before I moved back to Kansas from DC/Baltimore in spring 2011, a dear and wonderful colleague gave me her late mother's needles. No one in their family knit, and I was just getting into knitting and obviously *loving* it. They're in a place of honor in a display box my father built me, atop the dining room table he also built, which I use as my atelier. <br /><br />This is my first time commenting--I adore your blog--thank you for your writing and sharing!<br /><br />~Jill M.

Also hate when I 'misplace' one....search high and low, sure it's in with all the fuzz and cookie crumbs in netherland, only to find it stuck behind my ear. <br /><br />Good solution with your case!!! I bought two cases years ago....one for my long dps and one for my short dps. Obviously, yours is MUCH better by handling both!stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462819419868208831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-71047211198305970872018-08-25T19:51:10.667-07:002018-08-25T19:51:10.667-07:00I love your case!

But it seems so daunting to figure out how to make one.

I knit mainly on circs and rarely need a multitude of dpns at the ready. My sister made me a flap case as well. karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-36577555536203738102018-08-23T18:40:24.592-07:002018-08-23T18:40:24.592-07:00Great sewing for the needles.

I have many of my Grandmother and Great Grandmother's knitting and sewing supplies, including some hand-made crochet hooks of undeterminable size! What a treat.Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-20928652106051389502018-08-23T10:25:08.464-07:002018-08-23T10:25:08.464-07:00Lovely needle case; perhaps you’ll open your own E...Lovely needle case; perhaps you’ll open your own Etsy shop🙃!

I sorted my needles into plastic bags for some sense of organization, but Ziploc bags don't come even remotely close to your lovely project. :-) I also have my grandmother's aluminum Susan Bates dpns and they always feel special to knit with.
