After 30 plus years of knitting I have many favorite tools that make it more of a joy.
This is the best knitting project bag I have found. They can be hung in a closet for easy storage and it has a flat pocket for the pattern. Being transparent it is easy to see what is inside.

I absolutely love these interchangeable knitting needles. The cords are the best around. I also like the cloth carry case it is small and compact so it is easy to carry in my project bag.
