Tools of my Trade

Here is my little knitting bag. I re-purposed this Trish McEvoy make-up zipper pouch, from her Planner to hold all my essential knitting tools.
Scroll down to see what is inside... most links are to Amazon, but there are other websites that sell this stuff too. You can also go to your local craft store. :)

Here's what is in the bag:
a. Clover Knitting Stitch Counter Mini Kacha-Kacha
b. Clover Darning Needles
c. a 6 inch ruler, this is a random one that I used to use for homework in middle school. Not sure if that company is still around.
d. a good pair of scissors, this pair is by Fiskars
e. Clover Cable Stitch Holders
f. Clover Lock Ring Markers, I also have these Clover Soft Stitch Ring Markers & Clover Split Ring Markers
g. Boyle Crochet Hooks
h. Clover Point Protectors

Here is the Circular Needle & Double/Single Point Needle Case I use by Stitchberry.

Here it is unfolded...

Back into knitting...

I am so excited that I am finally finished with Uncle Marc's Scarf. I started it in June of this year, but got distracted by Summer. :) It was made it on circular needles, and when I got to the seed stitch every round seemed to take forever! I was able to power through and now I can start making the Miragamo bag. I keep making things for friends and family, and now it is time to make something for myself. I am a bit nervous for when it is time for sewing in the interior and attaching the handles, but I am sure their is a YouTube video out there to hold my hand. Or I can wait until my visit home for Thanksgiving and get a refresher from the Grandma's, hopefully I am finished with the knitting portion by then. :)

I saw these hats from bieq, and wanted to recreate them for my girlfriend who was expecting a baby boy. I found a pattern from Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino 2 on Ravelry, and will try to modify it. We will see how they turn out. Challenge accepted :)
