Knitty Fab Five

Yarn Valet - Yarn Bowl.  I love my ceramic yarn bowls that I've collected over the years, but I find the Yarn Valet a real keeper.  It's durable, non-breakable and cute with plenty of room for thicker yarns to flow through smoothly and easily.

Knit Happy Scribbles Mugs are fun, colorful and great for sipping your favorite hot beverage while you're enjoying winter knitting.

This is a grrreat helper when it comes to sticking to your budget and not overbuying yarn.  Happy savings in 2017 as the stashbot guide takes away struggle to know if you are accurate in the amount of yarn you will need for your projects.

The Gauge Counting Set is a nice addition to your knitting tools for checking those gauges. Enjoy your gauge knitting in the new year and beyond.

Forever Heathers Yarn  #42

Sock Knitting time!  Enjoy the yummy soft and beautiful hues of Forever Heathers Yarn.  There are five beautiful colors to choose from. This yarn is durable and perfect for socks, shawls and baby garments.

Happy Knitting in 2017!

StitchDots Rock! Find them at PolarKnit.

Today, I was checking in on PolarKnits . They have new and interesting products, as well as some nifty free patterns.

The StitchDots™ really caught my eye because it has words and symbols imprinted on each marker. Handy words like "Start" and "End" for your row, RS and WS markers (right side and wrongside of knitted garment) as well as Dec (decrease) Inc(increase) and more! Each adorable package has 20 markers and a "retro" pouch. These markers would be very helpful for knitting and crochet projects. I remember struggling with marking projects, especially when I first began knitting and crochet. You will need markers at every level of knitting and crochet so it's a good investment, as well. Keeping your place can be difficult, frustrating, and hold you back. It's wonderful to see such an innovative, yet simple, tool to help keep you motivated.

I've purchased PolarKnit Yarn in the past, and have been very satisfied with the colors and texture. If these markers interest you, check it, mark it, and keep on knitting. Warning! If you're in a knitting or crochet group, you'll have to keep them close - and share where you bought them. We all know a good thing when we see it.
