When it comes to knitting I've always been pretty utilitarian about my needles, tools, accessories and knitting bags. Most of my needles are hand-me-downs from my mother in the 1970s. Yarn loops or paper clips work work just fine as stitch markers. Instead of a row counter I use hatch marks on my pattern or a slip of paper. I have plenty of tote bags that I use for knitting bags.
But lately, I find myself buying and using more knitting gadgets. It started last year when I threw some coilless safety pins in with a yarn order (it was online but I don't remember what site). They are quite useful for marking row increases and the right side of a garter stitch garments. My gadget buying pretty much stayed there until the last month when I've found myself buying more and more gadgets plus knitting bags that are downright feminine. I'll be posting about these over the next few days.
