Recently I came across the hashtag #knittertools on Instagram, I love it always to look at what others have so for tools and stuff for knitting. Since has accumulated with me now of course so much. I'll show you a few things, without de I now no longer like to knit.

Prominent in the middle and always there, my needle and gaugefrom Lana Grossa. Of course, I use this very often, because the marking of the needle sizes on my wooden needles disappears after two rows at the latest, so I have to constantly check the strengths of my many needle tips. This needle gauge is at the same time a ruler and gauge for counting out the stitches in my swatches. Very practical and therefore constantly in use.

I use the stitch holders(this safety pin in the upper left corner) from time to time, but mostly I put stitches on a piece of yarn of a different color. But for shorter stitches these holders are very useful. The purple discs are the end pieces to my needlepoint setand they are extremely important when knits are paused and I need the appropriate needle size for other projects (for this reason I also bought a few extra ropes to be able to leave a project sometimes).Under the needle gauge are three rope connectors, so that several ropes can be connected together, for example, to try on larger projects once and to be able to distribute the stitches evenly over several ropes.

Wool needlesare, of course, indispensable for sewing the threads. No question about it. The crochet hook is needed to fix mistakes in the middle of a row, so I like to drop a stitch a few rows down to fix mistakes.

Ialready reported about my enthusiasm for my new pompom makerthe other day in the context of my new lift-it hat. Really great, the things! Below the tape measure, also pretty much always with me. My stitch markersaren't the prettiest, but they serve their purpose. I often just use different colored yarn scraps for that too, but having a few markers in the bag doesn't hurt.

At the bottom a few T-needles from KnitPro, I have a pack of 50, they don't rust (that's important!) and are great for blocking (stretching) the knits. By the way, I do that on these play mats, it doesn't have to be the expensive mats from KnitPro, you should just check beforehand if the mats rub off, mine don't.

And now tell me which tools you can't do without anymore. What are your favorite accessories? Maybe you also have some tips for nicer variants of knitting tools?
