The Essentials Part 1

So I am going to fill you in on why these things are so important to me. The first thing is scissors. That is a little obvious why I need these. When you cast off, how are you going to sever the yarn, with you teeth? While you could do this, I wouldn't reccomend it, wool doesn't taste that good (tee hee!)
Next is a crochet hook, this isn't so obvious to alot of people. The fact is, dropped stitches are hard to pick up with out these things. Sure, I can use a knitting needle to pick it up, but that is really hard.
Next on my list is stitch markers, these are familliar to any knitter who loves socks, hats, gloves or other things knit in the round.
Next is a tape measure, you will need this for accurate measurements like those for a form fitting sweaters. How are you going to measure the circumfrence of your head for a hat, or your bust for a proper fitting sweater? The answer is simple my friends, splurge that $1 and get a moltent tape measure.
Well that's all I'm going to post today on this subject, but there will be more.
