I finished my little rainbow containers and felted them. They are really cute but to keep them from tipping over I did have to put cardboard inside of them. It ended up that the tall round one holds my short straight needles, the small one my 0-4 double points and the larger one my 5+ double points. I will need to make a fourth container that is much larger and taller for my long straight needles.
Here they are:
This is pre-blocking which really helped to stiffen them up and before the cardboard was added. This is what they look like now:
For the straights, I can just look at their tops to know what size they are but the double points are bundled with colorful hair bands and tags with their sizes.

So cute! I KNEW I was going to love them felted. You could put a plastic tumbler in the tall one, couldn't you?

I love thos little containers! They felted really nicely, and the colors are great.
Loving the rainbow colors. I'll have to try to make some.
Those worked out perfect! What I like best is that you made the containers that hold the knitting needles. How often we purchase things that we could easily craft ourselves.
Those look amazing all felted up, really nice work!
Did you use self striping yarn or did you change the colors you were using to make the stripes? These are very pretty.
Thanks everyone. I striped the yarn myself. I used cascade 220 wool.
Your yarn is great, I admire you! Love those rainbow containers:)
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. Have a great day!
Knitted felted rainbow containers for your needles! Fantastic!
