I use flex-needles to keep my shoulders in shape. Now I have figured out a way to keep my flex-needles in shape.

Flex-needles are ergonomic with their short stiff tips and long soft tails, making the weight of your knit lay in your lap instead on your shoulder. The difficult thing is the storage of the needles. Before I curled them up and put them in their plastic bags, which made the tails curly when I took them out. And the curly tail naturally messes up with the yarn…

I have made a hanger for the needles, using a front for a drawer from IKEA’s bargain corner, 10 angle hooks and some Christmas paint on sale at Panduro. For every hook I have painted what needle size (I’m supposed) to find there. Inspired by the tidiness I’ve cleaned my needles (a good thing to do every now and then). The tails will straighten out eventually when I won’t curl them up all the time.
