need(le) organization? - wall pockets to the rescue!

Newest addition to the L'stell lineup:  Wall Pockets in DPN style (right) and CIRC style (left). 

My mum's holiday present request was, "something to hold my knitting needles on display like a piece of art, so they're all readily available and waiting for me".  Time spent rummaging through needles in jars and needles in drawers for certain sizes or the missing 4th DPN is much better spent hand-coloring Fair Isle charts, after all.

So I worked out a couple prototypes (Ta-da!  Presents for my sister!), and then had to have one for my own needles.  When the Wednesday Spinners started making requests after seeing Mom's... well, the L'stell line made room for a new product.

The DPN pocket pictured above was the design prototype I made for myself.  The velveteen fabric (orange) is now used as the back of the entire pocket - this gives it a little grip to the wall and some padding.  I like having a print in the background of the front for a little more decorative look, as shown on the CIRC Pocket.

I embroidered needle sizes onto the pockets of the prototype to label where my DPN's go, with the largest pocket housing my needle sizer.  The Wall Pockets will come unlabeled so that the 14 slots can hold your collection of needles in the range of sizes you work with - maybe you have US 000-10.5 or work on larger 2-17's.  Or like my mum, have four sets of 3's, 5's, 7's and a couple 9's, since you have one kind of favorite yarn.

The CIRC pocket has 15 slots to organize your circular needles.  Plans are in the works for an Interchangeable needles Wall Pocket too, especially since I have my eyes on the Knit Picks Harmony set!
