It's in the bag...

Something that I've always tried to maintain is a level of organization in my knitting toolbox.  I hate it when I'm snuggled down in my knitting chair, and I need a pair of scissors, or a darning needle or a piece of waste yarn to hold thumb stitches of a mitten in progress.  Here's my list of must have items.

1. The bag is tiny enough to fit in any project bag I have, so it can go with me wherever I'm knitting.  I made it, which makes me feel super crafty.
2. Gauge tool, needle sizer and mini ruler.
3. Tape measure ( the cutest little peppermint that you ever did see!)
4. Scissors.
5. Chibi darning needles.  I really love that they came with a little case.  I would have lost these needles years ago if I didn't have it.
6. Stitch markers.
7. More stitch markers.  I lose a lot of stitch markers.
8.  Another pair of scissors.  Just in case I lose the first pair.
9. Crochet hook for dropped stitches, or just for hooky goodness.
10. Waste yarn for holding stitches.
11. Mini cable needle, just in case my fingers get tired of cabling without a needle.
12.  Row counter.
13.  Two kinds of split stitch markers.


I hope you enjoyed a peek in my toolbox!  What's in yours?

  2. I love this idea. I have been knitting for years and am always searching around for this or that. I just put it all in a little bag I had lying around. Thank you!

  3. That's a cute little measuring tape. I had one shaped like a bear but my cat stole it 4 years ago and I have no idea where it is.

  6. Great peek! I'm the same way with my tools. It's come in handy so many times while being out with a knitting group too. Everyone calls my bag, Miss Poppins!

  7. You're so organised! I have a kit (I flashed it briefly in my post today) but mostly, the contents just end up somewhere on my desk...

  8. I have a similar kind of bag for my knitting and crochet supplies, but my needles aren't in a case, they're in a plastic sealy bag. :(

  10. Mine is almost exactly like yours, exept I also bring a calculator for translating inch to cm :-) And I wish I had a tape measurer as cute as yours :-)

  15. Good call on the must haves. I'm always jumping up to get something just after I've settled in.

  16. Very organized, though I don't think I've ever cataloged everything as you have here. Impressive!

  17. The perfect sized knitting toolbox! I'm working on rearranging mine - the bag I carry all of my tools in is just too darn bulky.

  18. Wow, that is very organised! All my bits and pieces are lying at the bottom of my project bag...I do need to make up a little bag like yours...
    :)

  19. Your toolbox is similar to mine. Well, not really. Your's looks a lot more lovely. I might have to buy more stitch makers now. Haha!
