I like to keep a small pkg of dental floss in my notions bag for lifelines. I take a piece and thread it through the keyhole of my Knitters Pride Zing needle and just knit it through!

I love my row counters… I made them myself with number beads, some pretty clear pearl beads and some wire after watching a couple of videos on YT… I made myself a 1-9+0 one, and also a 1-5 one for my hats where I have 4 and 5 rows to keep track of (like the wurm hat)… they were definitely a game changer for me … I ALWAYS forgot to use my manual row counter! I’m an interchangeable girl tho, I love my Knitpro Symfonies I got myself a ball winder for Xmas… just the cheap China one….but it’s FABULOUS! All my yarn is so pretty and organised now 🫶

Great suggestions! Very handy tips!

I recently bought a yarn spinner to hold my yarn while I knit. Its fabulous and stops the ball running away or losing its shape. Only cost $15 AUD

Love the idea of using a scale!! How useful for me since I have loads of leftover yarn!!

This video popped up as a suggestion and so happy I watched it - I have the needle organizer in my cart at Michaels - what a great idea!!!

I have two sets of blocking pins, got the type that came with the 2 packages of T pins and measuring tape included . Working on my first shawl. Need my digital yarn scale , mine doubles as a postal scale for work. I have el cheapo umbrella swift that perhaps will need to be replaced evetually if the same thing happens to me. Ball winder is a must. I use mostly ChiaoGoo but have interchangeables as well Row counter for me is smaller , loop over needle , abacus like, 10 beads slide up and down , pull one down each row as completed , with a little marker that clips in between for 10's, 100 is my limit for it . Ah yes, agree , a spool of cord for try ons , I just cut to length , that is a must , thinking about waste yarn and transferring one stitch at a time, a time saver Bulb markers , a definite !! Bonus items : Measure tape and stitch gauge in every bag as well as the short crochet hooks in 3 sizes on a ring for fixing any dropped stitches

Have you tried the Row Counter app? I love it. Imports your pattern from Ravelry and other knitting sites, I believe. I'm going to buy the needle box, mine are a giant 3 ring binder. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the Needle Box storage! I keep mine in labled pencil bags....the vinyl that go in binders. It works okay.

I actually just purchased one of those photo cases for my needles yesterday. I saw it on your craft room tour video. It’s perfect!

I'm glad this video found me. I am in need of organizing help especially since I got into knitting and sewing. The photo box for your needles is perfect. I have a lot of cables and this will be perfect for cables, circular needles, and other notions.

I agree with your top 5 tools. I like how you store your needles,it's something I need to do. Looking into getting more chiagoo needles they are my favorite. They're great for magic loop. I also own interchangeable wooden square knit picks .

I can’t live without my sock ruler. I just discovered the snap ruler from Twice Sheared Sheep and I love it.

The way you organize your needles is genius!! I NEED TO GET THE PHOTO CASES ASAP!!

I need to organize my knitting needles like that! Thank you for sharing ❤

When I tell you I RAN to Michaels to get one of those photo cases! I was watching this and my jaw literally hit the floor at the genius of it!

Great list, my top 10 is pretty similar (except for barber cords which drive me crazy haha, they have been much fiddlier for me than scrap yarn or cable cords, every time I try them I waste more time from the barber cord popping off). The row counter gadget has definitely completely changed my sleeve knitting, besides making counting rows easier it keeps me motivated. Totally agree on knitting combs for blocking, soooo much better than the alternatives. I have a couple sets and use them all. I like to use quite a few when first blocking a project to keep everything perfectly straight. I do use one of the knitting needle cloth hangers with slots for all of my fixed needles, it works for me and takes up almost no space. But if I had a bit more crafting space your tote is a super organized solution.

Having lost one of my stitch stoppers today, I came across a box of rubber headphone size adjusters by chance - they work just fine as stitch stoppers, all five matched pairs of them!

I love Chiagoo needles! I have had other cables break from the needle tip with other brands, and it is so frustrating and heartbreaking to drop stitches or have to stop knitting until a new cable needle can be purchased. I’ve never had that issue with Chiagoo, so I’m never switching! 😊

I only have one negative about.light bulb sti h markers they are too small I have arthritis and my hands are affected please please someone make double sized ones cost not an option would pay anything for them "HELP ME OBI WAN CONOBI"

I wished the chain row counters weren't so pricey here in Australia, and those blockers go from $32 for off brand to $50+ name brand here...unfortunately.
