I always keep the plastic needle case to the right of my sewing machine. There's only ever one case out, the rest are in a drawer in my sewing machine cabinet, or you could put them in a box. I generally only use a few sizes and they are color coded, so it would be easier to figure out what's what if I needed to.

It still makes me giggle to think that anyone is that organized! I'm so so glad you are, though
This was something that was slowly driving me crazy until I got this fantastic needle organiser made for me by sewdamncute on the Secret Pal swap.
Since this photo was taken, I've labelled all the needle packet pockets and when I've got a particular needle in one of my machines I put a coloured pin in the corresponding felt strip.

I'm not organized enough or have the patience to deal with machine needles. If I don't remember or lost control of what needle is what, I just get a new one the size I want and not get stressed over it. Machine needles are too cheap to be frustrated over.
