Knit Kit<\/a> \u2013 a compact device about the size of my hand that I keep in my back pack (which serves as my office, knitting bag and overnight bag) and holds various little items that you might need for a project, but are easy to lose.\n<\/p>\nThis is the front of the kit, where you can see a stitch counter at the top. To the side is a small, swivel-out thread cutter. It cuts yarn pretty well. On the right is a curved crochet hook with a hook at ![\"\"\/](\"http:\/\/noelfigart.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/090113_2216_TheKnitKit21.jpg\")
each end, small or larger, depending on what you need.\n<\/p>\n
There is also a very useful retractable tape measure \u2013 always needed when working on any sort of garment. It pulls out to an ample 60″ and retracts with ease.\n<\/p>\n
When you flip the kit over the first thing you see is a needle gauge. I love this, as I am always wearing the markings off of any needles I’m using, so having this most useful of knitting accoutrements takes some guesswork out of my projects.\n<\/p>\n
Opening up the back you’ll find a foldable pair of scissors that are billed as being TSA compliant, two tip protectors, a darning needle and several stitch markers. I love this thing. Truly it is the Swiss Army knife of knitting gadgets and has a welcome home in my bag.\n<\/p>\n
Oh, and for all that it’s totally clich\u00e9? I like the pink, too.\n<\/p>\n
