My Toolbox

An artist is only as good as his/her tools.  Over the years, I have collected a nice collaboration of items that I use on an everyday basis.  Without these tools, life would be much more difficult.  If even one thing is missing, it completely throws me off.

This was my first crochet case...

It is filled with Susan Bates hooks ranging from a C hook to a N hook.  I also keep my yarn needles and my lace weight needles in here.  This case has been with me through thick and thin and questionable college apartments.

I recently discovered a new hook from Clover and I LOVE them!  I am still working on my collection since they are kind of expense (for crochet hooks) but they are definitely worth it!

The green hook on the end is a Crochet Dude hook.  Do not be fooled...they are not as good as  Clovers.

For my double pointed knitting needles, I needed a case but couldn't find anything I liked.  So I went to etsy and found a seller who was willing to create exactly what I wanted.  This is my custom made case...

Pink, animal print, and flashy...this is 100% me!!!  Here is the link to the shop...

Stitch Obsessed Etsy Shop

I'm still working on my double pointed needle collection too but they are excellent tools to have!

My other must haves:
Sharp scissors
Knit stitch markers
Crochet stitch markers
P and Q crochet hooks
My 9" circular needles (the perfect size for baby hats)
Pom pon makers
Measuring tape
AND...

My Little Frills project bag...

My bag goes back on forth to work with me and keeps me organized!

Lastly, I would not be able to survive without my iPad mini.  It keeps all my patterns nicely organized and allows me to take pics of new products, update etsy listings, and respond to customers.  I can't take a pic of my iPad (because I am currently using it to write this post) but it is decked out in pink, as if it would be any other color :)

What's in your toolbox?  Do you have anything you can't live without?
