needle rolls

It's been a loooong time since my last post to here. I've been busy with
lots of things. Latest thing what I'm up to, is making needle rolls. I
accidentally made one roll too short and was wondering where would be a
proper place to sell it. Too short I mean that it's good for shorter
than 18cm (roughly 7inch) double pointed needles.

If you want to look what I mean, I have some of the rolls in my blog:

Welcome back, Johanna, and I for one LOVE short needles, I only use 5 inch or
less DPN's!!!!! 6 inch are do-able 7 inch work in a pinch, but I consider 7
inch to be tarrantulas!!

But, Johanna, THAT is OKAY!! If we all liked /slash/ used the same thing(s),
life would not be so INTERESTING, yes???

Great to see you again, Johanna. There are shorter needles, you know.
I have one set that is only about three inches long. (I don't have
them
with me, so I can't measure them, but they are tiny.)

Higs,
Katherine

I put one needleroll in Etsy, maybe I'll be adding some more to there,
if there's going to be any sale. Atleast it's cheap way to put things to
sale.

I have tried needle rolls, and I just can not make them work.

For short DPN, I keep the bulk supplies of my needles in larger (8" x 14" x
2") clear plastic boxes with dividers and hinged lids such as the ones made
by "ArtBin" or "Flambeau." When I start a project, I transfer the required
needles & etc for THAT project to a smaller clear plastic box with dividers
and a hinged lid.

The little boxes fit in the shoe box that each project lives in. For
travel, the contents of a shoe box goes into a briefcase, with each center
pull ball of yarn in its own zip lock bag.

Long DPN (16" & 18") are in needle holders that I make from 2 sections of
bamboo that are tied together with a piece of cord allowing an adjustable
length needle case. This style of bamboo needle point protector also works
for WIPs. Gansey projects live in sweater boxes at home and travel in a "gym
bag" with all of the necessary extras in one of those clear plastic boxes
with dividers and lids.

At long last, I sent my computer off to art school, so there will be
pictures - some day. However, the next couple of months are busy with
things that have nothing to do with fiber, and complicated with a fair
amount of travel. Do not expect much before mid - August.
