Create Share Love | My Knitting Case

While I am working on a knitting project I like to keep some supplies close by for easy access. Because I like to see what other people carry in their knitting case I decided to share my supplies.

ZIPPERED POUCH to hold all my supplies. I made my pouch last year with fabric from this remnants package from Umbrella Prints. It has a bottom so it stands on its own.

GAUGE RULER: So important to measure my needles. I use a plastic one I bought at our local yarn shop.

SCISSORS: It was always so frustrating when I didn't have them by my side when I needed them. So I bought an extra one and put them in my knitting case.

CROCHET HOOK: This one gets used to pick up stitches I dropped.

AN EXTRA NEEDLE: When I use a cable stitch I need an extra needle. You can buy cable needles, but a simple needle makes the work as good as the real one.

A PEN: To write down notes (and counting rows) while working on my knitting project.

MEASURING TAPE: Especially when you knit something to wear you have to measure the size of the piece you are knitting. So a measuring tape is a must.

COLORED YARN: I use leftover colored yarn to mark my stitches. Simple and cheap.

SAFETY PINS: I sometimes use safety pins to mark my stitches.

TAPESTRY NEEDLE: To weave in the ends of my knitting project

SOME EXTRA NEEDLES: I use interchangeable circular needles for almost everything I knit. Once a week I go to a knitting class and you never know, which project you are going to start next and what needles you need. So I keep my extra sizes in my pouch.

And that's it. What are your essentials in your knitting case? Do you use a knitting case? If you shared your knitting case somewhere online, link to it in the comments.
