An inventory of supplies

Knitting supplies are, in some respects, sneaky things. They come into your house when you're not looking. I mean, sure, you start out with one set of needles, and that's fine for your first project or two, but then you need needles of different sizes. And then you discover other methods of knitting, which need a whole different set of needles. And then next thing you know, you have enough pointy objects in your house to make a life-sized echidna or three.

The equipment I have at the moment:

  • A range of bamboo DPNs, 13" long, US0 - US8
  • Two handmade wood circulars, US7 and US9
  • Wood straights, US13
  • Set of Knifty Knitter round plastic looms
  • Adjustable Wonder Sock Loom sockEFG

The equipment I have somewhere in my black hole of an apartment:

  • A set of sock-weight metal DPNs
  • An echidna's worth of aluminum and plastic straights of varying sizes
  • A set of bamboo circulars, length tbd
  • A medium-gauge knitting board
  • Yarn needles

(Yarn needles are annoying little buggers. They disappear more than stitch markers do.)
