knitting

If you’re like me, half the fun of knitting is collecting gadgets that make your knitting life easier. My newest gadget is way too cool for school! It’s a pattern holder that folds flat for storage, but folds into an easel shape to hold your pattern upright so it’s easier to read. It’s about 8-inches wide by 11-inches tall, just the right size for a magazine page or piece of printer paper.

The very coolest thing about this holder is that it’s magnetic, all over! It comes with 4 magnets of different sizes, and it holds your pattern securely. You can even fold the pattern inside and close it with a magnetic closure, so you won’t lose your place in the pattern when you stop knitting. The magnetic closure has two different lengths, so you can position the easel the way it fits best on your table or chair, and then it will stay in that position because the magnetic closer keeps it steady and secure.

This is an awesome little gadget, and the more I use it the more I love it. Two of the magnets are long and thin, so you can use them as line markers in patterns, too. This is invaluable when you’re doing a lace pattern and can’t remember what line you completed when you stopped knitting.

If you’d like one of these gadgets for your very own, you’ll find them at KnitPicks.com. Tell them I sent you!
