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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
