I hope I am posting this in the right spot....but my crafting tip is this: I crochet and sometimes take it with me on trips...but to store my crochet needles....no matter what size...I purchase various sized fish aquarium tubing and cut them to fit over the hook part of the crochet needle thus they are not sticking out and won't "poke" or get caught on anything! I have done this for many many years....you can also do this with knitting needles....works great. Elaine
