Knit Pick Options Storage Case

I recently bought the Deluxe Nickel Plated Options set from Knit Picks. I love these needles, but find the case they come supplied in a little too long for my normal projects bag, so it was time to get my sewing machine out.

First I sat and measured all the various items I needed to store and the space I wanted to be able to fit them into. Sometime later after many drawings, calculations and crossings out, I sat down at my cutting board and sewing machine.

Eight hours later, I had finished my first prototype. It still needs some tweaking, but I'm leaving that to a friend who is a far more talented seamstress.

Here are some pictures of the insides:
Two Pockets for the cables and accessories.
Five slots for needles tips with sizes embroidered on each slot.

In the centre are six wider slots to take either the larger needle tips or any other accessories such as crochet hooks.


Finally, there are another set of labeled slots and a series of pockets for fixed circular needles.
