Tuesday Tool Tip for you: Purl Strings! This is a tool especially for knitters. Have you been working on a top, sweater, shawl, cowl, hat, anything where the stitches are bunched on your needles in a way where you can't successfully try it on and check sizing? Then Minnie & Purl Purl Strings would really save your sanity. These hollow cords suction to your needle tips and allow you to spread out your stitches without dropping them so you can try on a piece while working on it, for example. The first four photos show the colors available at Stitches and the last two show a project I used these cords for a few weeks ago. Each tin has multiple length of cords and you can shop Purl Strings at stitchesoferie.com.

Fiber crafts have taught me one important lesson: I don't know how to count. Or rather, I lose track of what number row I'm on very very very easily! Thankfully, 's Chain Row Counters take over for me and help me keep my sanity. Whether knitting or crocheting, these numbered chains hold the "memory" of what row you're on or which number pattern repeat you've finished so you don't have to. We have several sizes and charm options available at stitchesoferie.com!
