Double Pointed Needle Holder

3/4/2014

5 Comments

 
For some time now, I have been trying to organize my craft materials and tools. Only problem, is that I want the tools I use most often to be readily available, so that means they need to look nice too. I searched the internet to come up with some way of organizing my double pointed needles and crochet hooks. Primarily, what I saw was antique pipe holders upcycled as knitting needle holders. So, I went looking at some local antique shops. Unfortunately, I didn't quite find what I was looking for until I stopped by Lost and Found Thrift in Bountiful, Utah. First off, I must do a shout out to this glorious place. Not only do they have great items, but they have pictures all over the store to give you ideas of what some of their products could be turned into with a little DIY. The greatest part are the friendly, helpful owners. After browsing for a bit, I wasn't coming across any pipe holders, so I described what I was needing to Cheryl, one of the owners. She thought for a moment then I saw the light bulb go off and she asked if I had thought of using a floral frog. She went in the back and brought out exactly what I was needing. All that was left was to put it in a container. I remembered a milk glass trifle bowl I bought a while back and, lucky for me, they were a perfect fit! I didn't have to do any adjusting or jimmy rigging at all!

Now you tell me, isn't that perfect?! It is like my own little bouquet of knitting needles and crochet hooks. I love it! I know that this is a pretty serendipitous find, so if you are looking to organize your needles/hooks, you could also try an old test tube holder or a test tube vase.

For starters, this is gorgeous! And genius! For second, thank you for the test tube rack idea. I am having the same dilemma, since my craft room is rapidly undergoing the transition into a nursery. I need to find a home for the things I use most, and it needs to be both functional AND attractive. I am a chemist, so I have lots of odds and ends from the lab... including a few test tube racks. It will fit nicely with my buttons (sorted by color) in beakers. Great work! Now, I must be off to explore more of your posts, as this is the first I've seen.

So glad I could help! I am definitely familiar with the craft room to nursery dilemma! Lets just say that at least half of my daughter's closet has bins with craft supplies in them...
