Knitting Kit Essentials
As you may have seen recently, Tom Daley won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. To protect his medal from scratches, he knitted himself a cosy for it, with the Union Jack on one side, and the Japanese flag on the other. If this has inspired you to get knitting and start making some gorgeous crafts yourself, then have no fear – we have curated a list of the 5 knitting kit essentials you will need to be a pro in no time! So, grab your wool and your needles, and get ready to start crafting.
Knitting Bag
You need somewhere to keep all your projects and supplies, and this is the perfect place. A knitting bag, like this one, will make sure everything stays organised and in one place. There’s nothing worse than not being able to find something you need, so make sure to keep everything safely tucked away in here.
Knitting Stitch Holder
Are you working on a project that requires multiple pieces? These safety stitch holders are like giant safety pins, and they keep your live stitches in place for when you want to come back to them. If you have to put aside your knitting to work on another part of your project, you won’t need to worry about whether or not it will be waiting for you when you’re ready! These are a godsend for those slightly more complicated patterns and will make sure even the most complicated of knits stay organised and ready to go.
Stitch Markers
These stitch markers are great for helping you keep track of changes in your knitting projects! Whether you’re using them to mark a pattern repeat or using them to monitor your increases and decreases, they will make sure you stay on track. Their safety pin design will stop them from slipping or falling out, and the no snag design means that they won’t damage your work. You never have to worry about starting a line over ever again!
Needle Point Protectors
Needle point protectors are great at stopping your stitches from falling off your needle. Before you take a break, make sure to slip them onto the end of your needles, et voila: they’ll make sure your work stays intact in your knitting bag. Plus, they can also be used to turn a double-point needle into a straight needle in a pinch!
Yarn Ball Holder
If you’re tired of your wool or yarn getting tangled up during projects, then this is the solution for you! This holder rotates on its base, so your wool won’t be able to turn into one big knot. No more worrying about untangling time after time – all you’ll have to worry about is coming to the end of the line!
