My Knit Kit

I take my knitting EVERYWHERE.
Since I am primarily a sock knitter, my knit kit contains all the essentials for anything I might encounter when knitting in the wild.

I contain my knit kit in a red, faux-snakeskin leather makeup bag that came as part of an Estee Lauder holiday makeup kit many, many moons ago. It's about 6"h x 8"w x 2"d. It fits all my tools, as well as my sock in progress and a back up ball of yarn, in case I want to cast on something new.


Photo #1:
A small hole developed in the liner, I have no clue why, but it fits a tapestry needle perfectly. This is handy, it keeps my needle right where I need it.
