I have a wonderful selection of knitting needles - mostly bamboos.
The problem is the size that is printed on them wears off after a few uses and then you can't easily tell which size it is.
Fortunately I have a handy little gadget that belonged to my grandmother that is great for determining the sizes.
It isn't in metric but the old imperial sizes so it's a case of remembering the conversions.
Today I decided to make life easier by colour co-ordinating the needles. My lovely girls have many interesting shades of nail polish -
-so I used these to paint the tops of the needles.
My favourite needles sizes, 3.75mm and 3.25mm are pink and yellow - so I should remember them. I'll just have to make sure I don't forget what the other colours stand for.
Now it's all very colourful and jolly.
Thats a really good idea. Off to raid the nail polish!
