What if I made a cuff that stored everything I need to knit a pair of socks so that I never set down a needle and temporarily lost it in my chair? So that my row counter, stitch and row markers were always there? My tapestry needle too?
Amazing! I love our ability to create items to exactly fix personal niche problems.
It does come in handy. I originally thought about making some kind of wooden tray that would hold all this stuff but I didn't want to have to route out spaces for everything to fit in and didn't want things like the row counter sliding around so it was going to get pretty complex. And then I realized I have plenty of arm space to work with. I should knit it so everything can have pockets to be in. Or at least just push the pointy things through.
That's super cool. Never associated knitting with more utility wear in my head, so it's interesting to see knitting used to make something like this.
@FauxPseudo ooo, this is such a brilliant idea! Never need to search for stitch markers or the row counter again 😍 or the cable needle 🤭🧶🥰
Might need. Yeah my cable needle is definitely one to want to get lost. It's the size of a relatively short tapestry needle. I made it myself out of some 14 gauge galvanized wire that I carefully bent into shape and filed to points. I was constantly tired of working with size 1 needles and not having a decent size one cable needle.
Really cool project!
Did you have to cut off a pinky to use it?
I didn't even cut my pinky nails and you think I'm going to cut off a pinky?
It's a reference to assassins creed hidden blade that required you to cut off your pinky
I knew I had to be a reference to something. I just didn't know what.
You are powerful.
