Catch-up post: What's in your knitting bag?
Everyone keeps supplies around for their knitting, whether it's just having a pair of scissors tucked in a bag's inner pocket or something more substantial. What's in yours?
Mine contains the following:
- measuring tape
- needle gauge
- tin full of stitch markers
- needles (both straight-tipped and curve-tipped)
- scissors
- spare yarn for emergency stitch holders
- crochet hook for emergency dropped stitches
- row counter (any kind will do; I usually throw in a barrel-style one for space saving considerations)
- 2"x2" post-it notes
And sometimes a double-pointed needle or two... or a full set of sock needles. I'm not sure why those are in there.
I actually have two of these -- one in a zippered bag, one in the sheep bag made for me by a friend. :) That way I can take one with me when I go places, but I don't have to move it back and forth between portable knitting and house knitting.
Other things I'd like, but don't necessarily have room for: a pencil and a calculator. (I have a tiny calculator, but only one, darn it. I should have bought several; then I'd have enough for both knitting kits and to keep in the nightstand.)
