Does anyone of you use needle minders?

I bought one on Ebay from a seller in the UK - was very cheap.  To be honest I forget to use it half the time and I'm so used to slotting the needle into the fabric when I'm not using it that when I actually do use the needle minder I forget I've put the needle on it and spend half an hour looking for it!!

A photo of my 4 favourite needle minders. The fox is current favourite for small to mid size hand held projects, because it is light and has a low profile. The teapot is also good for these projects and is currently the oldest of my needle minders (over 20 years old). The thistle is too heavy to use unless the project is on a frame but it also does a great job holding the pattern. The sheep is probably my favourite since the wool lets you dig the needle in as well for extra security.

I just use a magnetic strip on my magnetic board that's holding the chart.

I use a small unicorn that I love. I haven't lost a needle since I started using it and would encourage everybody to consider using them.
