Ah. These are the accessories I carry with me whenever I am knitting anything on the road or during my commute:
Speaking of stitch markers, these rings, my newest and most economical markers were cut from a third of a drinking straw (a neat little tip from Hilary). I realized I didn't have any markers that weren't too big or too small for US8 needles (Minisweater project), so while waiting at Red Rock for my usual Red Eye, I nabbed a straw. Imagine me, at my desk five minutes later, happily *snipping* away at the straw as I wait for my e-mail to download. Wonder what size markers I can get from the straws at Starbucks or the Pearl Tea place, downstairs...
A quick update on projects: Indigo Ripples skirt is finished--photos and details, soon to come. Minisweater is halfway complete, but I might need to frog part of it. I'm casting on a sweater for a cat.
- Measuring tape
- Collapsable scissors
- Stitch markers
- Seaming needle

Using (almost free) altoid tins to hold stuff and straw pieces as stitch markers means more money for yarn!
