My 2022 Favorite New Tools

Post Question: What are your favorite Knitting and Crochet tools? What are those things you just can't live without and why?

Happy New Year!! I can't believe it's already 2023 and I'm so excited about what this year is going to bring. Reflecting back on 2022, it was a year for me to rediscover my love for knitting. It was the year I was more consistent with creating projects and even challenged myself to learn several different patterns and stitches. Here were some new to me tools that I would highly suggest you check out if you haven't already!

In no particular order (Prices based on when this was posted):

1. Sheep Knitting Needle Gauge - $8.99 - It has both the US and Metric sizes. US on one side, flip it over and find the Metric sizes as well.

2. Tally Hand Counters - 6 Pack - $13.99 - This has been the best find for me in a LONG time. When I have multiple projects going on and I need to track more than 100 rows, this was a game changer. I used them for all of my Christmas scarf projects and will be using them for blankets, sweaters and such in the future. Each counter can go up to 9999 rows!!! Woohoo.

3. 18 Pairs of Bamboo Knitting Needles - Sizes US 0 - US 15 - $14.99 - I've already used 4 different needle pairs for various projects and have been very happy with this purchase. Especially when you get so many for only $15!! A couple of the points had a little bit of a snagging edge, but I just used a nail file and filed that portion down and the snagging stopped. The needles 9.75" long!

I received some amazing things this year for Christmas and will be posting about those in a couple of weeks. I'm excited to see how they will aid me in my 2023 Knitting...and honestly yarn goals since I want to branch out and learn to crochet too.

The picture below highlights me using 3 different pairs of the bamboo needles and two of the hand counters...the 3rd one was by my side when I took the picture.
