Needle Care Kit

Notes

My sister knits with wood needles so I made a little Needle Care Kit. It consisted of:Felted Bag 
225 Sand Paper cut into hearts (for small splinters on needles) 
Pure Beeswax Discs (to polish needles) 
Polishing cloths in cut into heart shapesThe Bag:I used the magic loop method. 
Use 2 strands of yarn to give bag some bulk.CO 36 stitches. 
Knit 6 rows 
Row 7: K2tog, Yo, K1 
Knit for desired length of bag. 
Close using 3 Needle Bind-Off.Crochet a single crochet chain using 2 strands of yarn for desired length.Felt bag using very warm water in a mixing bowl with a few drops of liquid dish detergent. Work with your hands or a wooden spoon until the bag is felted to your satisfaction.Dry flat on a towel or blocking pad.This was a fun gift!
