Knitting Help - Essential Tools

People often ask me what tools I consider to be the most important to have with me in my knitting bag. Here is a real-life trip through my favorite stuff.

I love your videos and tutorials, and I've looked all over for a little box like you keep your tapestry needles and stitch markers in. Where did you find it?

@silverlilies The little case is available online…it is called “The Perfection Notion Case”, and you can find it on Amazon. Sorry - I can't post a direct link to it here, but it's easy to find. :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. Do you remember where you bought the "mistake fixer?"

@janericciardi That little tool is called the Susan Bates Silvalume Handi Tool, and you can find it on joann dot com. Less than $2! Totally worth it.

I've been asked several times about the stitch markers I use...I'm unable to post a link to the etsy store in the comments, but just go to etsy dot com, then search for "rycrafty". The stitch markers are handmade and sold in her etsy store.

Thanks for all your advise, I'm a beginner of knitting and your videos help me alot because I don't know anyone that could show me and readings books not as helpful thank you alot

@MartinaBartoli91 Hi Martina - I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! I lived in Europe for 2 years (in The Netherlands), and I found it was helpful to shop on ebay.com and ebay.co.uk. You can find good sellers with knitting stuff, and they will often ship to Europe. Good luck!

I think I'm good to go!! There are a couple of things I think I'll be adding thanks to your advise. :)

I need to get a box like that because right now I have it in a zip lock bag that is now getting old. I also need to get that little crochet/knit hook that was last. It would be great to pick up dropped sticthes. Thanks

Nail file and lotion those are 2 I don't have or at least the lotion always grows feet and disappears. Now that crochet hook thingy is interesting. I've never seen that before. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I don't think Jo-Anne Fabrics has that. Perhaps when the new super store opens.
