Tip of the Morning Tuesday~Double Pointed Needle Holders

If you are a knitter you might find these useful. I saw a few double pointed needle (dpn) holders on Pinterest recently and thought I could make those and so I did. It's just a piece of elastic with fabric pieces stitched on the 2 ends which holds your dpn's all together. Well I went one step further and added labels to my dpn holders and stitched them in place using a machine blanket stitch. These are simple and easy to make and use up scraps of fabric too.

Here are a few dpn holders I made. I made 14 sets in all.

I wanted to label my dpn holders so I used a pigma pen to write the needle sizes on a piece of fabric and blanket stitched the label onto the fabric.

It only takes a bit of elastic and fabric to make these dpn holders.

You can see for these larger dpn's I used a wider elastic. Some dpn's come in sets of 4, 5 or even 6 needles.

You place the dpn's into the fabric pocket at one end and then...

...stretch the elastic and insert the tips of the other dpn's into the remaining pocket. That's it, easy peasy.
