As as I share my love for knitting I like my mother love to share our gift with others. SO I'd like to share with you what I think you should have in your knitting bag and with you at ALL times. Seriously these are things I can't knit with out....
The first thing you should have is a small crochet hook - this is an invaluable tool. Used for picking up those dropped stitches... This is a MUST.
Always keep a paperclip in there - this can be used as a stitch holder in a pinch.
A small pencil WITH an eraser - I use this to mark off my rows on my chart pattern. or just to make notes about what I might change if/when I knit the pattern again.
I also keep a small copy of the Kitchener Stitch for when I go to finish off the toe of the socks I'm knitting. The Kitchener Stitch makes for a very clean finish and make it look like there is no end to the knitting. It's a flawless Stitch!!!
Those are the most important ones. But I also have in my kit the following:
needle and thread
curved needle for weaving in the ends
Scissors
Cable hooks
Standard yarn weight system chart
pom-pom maker rings
HandKnit by Terry-Jo labels
T-Pins for putting sweaters together for seaming
I hope you find this a helpful tool for making your knitting kit.
Keep on Knitting....
I like your list! It is just about the same as what I keep in a little pencil box that I always have with when I am knitting no matter where I am. One thing I always try to have with me are extra stitch markers. You never know when you might need one.
