flexible stitch holders

I want flexible stitch holders that close. Not hard aluminum stitch holders. And not spare circulars that don't close and I'm always worrying that I'll lose stitches from them (because they're ending up a much smaller size than what I'm knitting the project with) and they have all these extra points dangling into my way.

Flexible stitch holders. I want them, a lot of them, now.

Zip ties ? One time use, but cheap...

Flexible stitch holders like it sounds like what you need, *DO* exist. Here is a link to some that can be ordered online, and I've had no trouble finding the same thing in several of my local yarn stores. I think that Michaels Crafts probably has them too.

I wish I could make local recommendations for you, but I don't know what crafting resources are in your area. Anyway - I hope the link helps, and that you can get a few of these inexpensive but VERY handy items, soon!

Thinking creatively of flexible stitch holders that would not fall out - how about spiral shoelaces? Might not be the easiest in the world to manipulate, but those puppies would stay put!
