I bought 15 "snap-envelope" style pockets and a three inch, three ring binder. Each pocket is labeled and holds one size of needle with as many length variations as I own. Now that I know the "Magic Loop" technique for smaller circumferences I no longer buy anything other than 32 inch, but I do have a few shorter ones from before that time. I have also used the pockets to store a few double-pointed sets.
I decorated the outside of the binder with a picture gleaned from the internet. It is of a painting of a little girl knitting.

What a great idea! Where did you get the supplies?
I found the snap-envelope style pockets at Zellers, in their school supplies section. I've never seen them anywhere else. The large 3" binder with pockets on the front for custom covers was purchased at a business supply store.
Buggars... we don't have one of those here. I'll keep my eye out, though, when I go to the office stores. I just might luck out.
I love this idea, now I'll have to go raid the local Zellers for those pockets and get my circs organized.
This is so cute! I made my own version with ziplock bags. the tutorial is on my blog: http://ashleyknitsandcrochets.blogspot.com/2010/11/circular-knitting-needle-storage-binder.html
Love this idea. But do not have Zeller’s here.
Anonymous, we no longer have a Zellers either. I've never seen this snap form of pocket anywhere else, or ever again. I'd love to have more! I have seen some pocket inserts that have a type of zip fastener though, and they would work too.
