Notions
Little notions/accessories I carry to help me along with my projects
My favorite stitch markers! I love the colors and they’re great quality. I haven’t had any fail on me yet. The small, circular ones are great for sock knitting. The split ones are great for keeping track of stitch count on larger projects. I also use...
Stitch Markers
TSA friendly yarn cutter that I carry around with all of my projects
Yarn Cutter Pendant (Antique Gold)
Love this tool for easy gauge swatching!
Quick Gauge Ruler
If you knit with aluminum or metal needles, these will help keep your project from slipping off the needles during storage. I also like the silicone kind that come in different shapes.
Stitch Stoppers
Yarn
These are my favorite yarns I’ve worked with, and some that I have my eyes on for future projects. I love to visit yarn stores when traveling to feel the yarn, too, so I’ll have some that I note for that purpose.
My favorite mohair. It’s great quality, doesn’t tangle, and decently affordable. The color selection is great, too.
Beautiful yarn that's soft and easy to work with; the colorways are beautiful, and I haven't had any issues with the different types they have.
Lang Yarns
So soft! I love touching these whenever I'm in a yarn store.
Juniper Moon Yarn
Needles & Sets
My favorite needles for socks! They’re so sharp and smooth. I can knit an entire sock without needing to change out for longer cables (magic loop) or DPNs.
HiyaHiya Sharp 9" Circular Needles (0 US 9")
My favorite interchangeable needles. I prefer these cords and how lightweight they are. I travel with them on projects and stored separately in smaller pouches, and I’ve never had an issue with TSA when they’re not in the case.
Lykke Driftwood 3.5in Circular Knitting Needles Set
Storage
My favorite project bags! You can use the little bag holder to separate balls of yarn if you're using multiple colors or types in your project. I also love that I can hold the bag on my wrist while I stand or sit and knit.
Baby Baggu Black
I love these for storing my notions and smaller knitting projects. They're great to use for getting my knitting accessories through TSA. I've never had an issue.
Pouches and Cases
Finishing
The pieces fit perfectly and work well for blocking small items to a sweater. I appreciate the storage bag and pins that are included.
Blocking Mats
My favorite for blocking. It doesn't require rinsing and smells great.
Soak Wash
I use this for blocking and it's great for small spaces because it collapses. The seal has worked perfectly.
