Another option for keeping control over your needles is to buy a set of interchangeable needles. This is a set, usually of circular needles, that includes points of various sizes. You can attach different points to the same cord, so you have a whole set of circulars that comes in its own storage box. The Boye Needlemaster by Wrights is the most widely available interchangeable system and has been around the longest.
It includes needle points from size 2 to 15 and cords to make lengths of 20, 24, 29 and 36 inches. You could probably also join two cords together to make longer cords. The points are metal and the cords are plastic. The points screw into the cords there's a little tool like a bent paperclip that is supposed to make the points stay secure on the cords and they are all different colors, which makes it easier to tell them apart.
Another popular interchangeable system is the Denise Interchangeable Knitting System. These were actually developed by the same people who originally designed the Boye system, so they're kind of a next-generation product. They're made of resin and are much lighter than traditional knitting needles.
The sizes range from 5 to 15 and you can make straight needles that are 9, 13, 16, 20, 30 or 34 inches long with the points added or circulars measuring 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 33, 40, 50 or 58 inches.
The pieces snap together instead of screwing on, so the points don't come loose while you're knitting. If you want a kit, there's just about everything you could ever want here. But it's not nearly as much fun as buying new needles every time you have a new project!

The needles themselves are not labeled by size, but needle markers and a needle gauge are available from Knit Picks as well.
