December is here and, for many of us, that means Christmas Knitting. With the countdown on (only 19 days to go from here!), finding quick-knit projects and balancing time knitting with getting the house decorated, Christmas cookies made, and everything else involved with making many families’ Christmas preparations, it can get a bit hectic
The start of a New Year is like casting on a new project, with all the hopes, dreams, and expectations that with it.
While I love how light-weight and thin these are, I’ve relegated these stitch markers to the back of my knitting trunk, as I had too many issues with split yarn and paint flaking off the markers.
While I wish the magnet was a big stronger with a wider field of force, I imagine that the gang at Coco Knits had to balance a lot of design considerations when making the tray. I find it easy to use, and its simple but attractive design does mean that it gets left out. It has not become the end-all-be-all that I hoped for originally, but I’m quite satisfied with it and I do use it to temporarily store other tools I’m working with in the moment.
Some of my favorite stitch markers due to their flexibility and softness, these perform best when working with larger-gauged projects, such as those using a worsted or bulky yarn weights. When working with lighter-weight yarns or smaller needle sizes, some gapping may occur so you will likely want to work with different markers
Sunne Meyer breaks down the material quite nicely so that it is easily digestible. She also talks through many of the finer points regarding each of the patterns that are included with the coursework. Make sure to watch the final module where she talks through fixing mistakes and adding embellishments; those saved me a lot of grief.
I have never felt so organized when it comes to my needles! There is something about unrolling my case and seeing all my needles laid out before me that helps make my knitting experience feel special.
