Organize your knitting supplies with Creative Options / by jen geigley


Every crafter and knitter I know is on a common mission: conquering the organization of the tools and notions that are essential to their craft. Knitters and crocheters are always on the go – knitting on the commute, in the car, on a plane, in waiting rooms and baseball games. If a knitter can take their knitting project with them, they’re going to do it. Just try and stop them!

One of the most annoying things that can happen mid-project is when you have to stop working because you forgot your stitch markers at home or you don’t have your scissors. Such a bummer. Luckily, Creative Options has released a new line of cool-looking, functional knitting needle cases, zipper bags and totes with really fun prints – the perfect way to knit on-the-go while keeping all of your important tools organized. If you desperately need to organize your knitting supplies, this is the way to go. No more hunting down your size 3 needles or your tape measure. These bags and organizers will give all of your supplies a home, at home or on the go.


I am a sucker for a cute knitting needle case, and this Creative Options needle case is perfection. It has 8 elastic bands to hold your needles, plus enough space in the pocket to hold even more needles, if you wish. I was able to fit my whole bamboo set in this pocket – sizes US 1 through US 13. The flap in front folds down and tucks into a nice little strap on the front to keep anything from falling out. The awesome knit stitch patterned fabric is not only super cute, but very durable.


This knitting needle case with zipper is a must-have, and you can use it for so much more than just needles! This has become my new road-trip companion – it’s compact but holds all of the small tools I need for my project. It’s exactly the right size to hold a few pairs of straight or circular needles plus a notebook, pen, scissors, measuring tape and all of my notions. And it slides right into my bag or purse.


I love the navy, blue and chartreuse arrow pattern, and the bright solid-colored inner lining ensures that you’re not going to misplace a thing. You’ll be able to spot even the tiniest stray stitch marker.


And obviously, every knitter needs a good knitting bag. The Creative Options 5 pocket knitting tote is just the right size to hold everything you need, and it looks great too. It has a large open interior space to hold your yarn, needles and books. And it has 5 exterior pockets to hold anything else you can imagine – notebooks, pens, more knitting needles, scissors, a water bottle … or more yarn. Throw your needle case and zipper bag inside and you have everything you need, without question.
