flexible stitch holders

[celticdragonfly]

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.

Hm, just checked some I have in a drawer - actually, they are smooth enough. Way too short, but hey, this has possibilities. I wonder what's the best place to go pick up some...

Home Despot has them in various lengths at reasonable prices.

The black ones are more expensive because they have a UV resistant compound in them. You ( I suspect ) wouldn't need those.

Have you considered insulated copper wire ? Something about 12-14 gage should work. Maybe a little bigger. You might want to dip the ends in tool dip or cover them some way so there's no sharp edges.

Actually, I've realized I don't need them super long to double back. I need to use them in pairs - one to hold the stitches, the other to lock it down, just set them up in 69 position.

So I'm going to run down to Staples. They have some, and are easier to get in and out of with the kids than Home Depot.
