Carry your creativity with Erin Lane Bags! Whether you show your fiber fandom with the woolly wonder

Sheepleverse, or dive into history with the Curiosities collection, our project bags, totes, and hook and needle

organizers are at the ready to keep your hobby happy.

Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works with ALL your patterns and is available for Apple, Android, and Kindle Fire Devices

Are you feeling dis-GRUNT-eled about your stash? Are you browsing Insta-HAM looking for knitting inspiration? Is color "kind of a PIG deal" in your life?

Oink Pigments offers over one hundred forty PIG-ture perfect colorways to make you SQUEAL with delight.

For a limited time only, bring home the bacon with code KNITMORE and get fifteen percent off in-stock yarns and fibers at oinkpigments dot com. Shop soon, because these pigs will FLY!

The first time I saw a chain row counter, I thought "Hmm, that's nice, but I’ll  just mark my pattern". 

But I inevitably forgot and spent more time re-counting my knitting than actually knitting!

Friend, do yourself a favor and put a chain row counter on that project (you can thank me later).

You’ll always know exactly where you are and get to knit more - and stress less!

No clicking, tallying, or waking your phone up every row. 

Just knit!
