Etsy Goodies
For me one of the best things about doing Secret Pal type swaps, is hunting out new or different gift ideas… recently I have been doing all this searching on etsy. The thing is I found all these wonderful tools I had to buy extra to treat myself. That is the best part of buying knitting gifts isn’t it?
Remember the wonderful sock knitting bag I got as part of the Sock Club parcel? It was made my Zigzag Stitches, I have been over using the bag and thought I could so with a larger version – but I also discovered they made matching mini DPN holders, so I contacted the seller and she made me a matching sheep set, she only had the blue fabric left – but who I am to complain it is almost Tiffany’s blue 
The mini DPN holder is perfect, I have been working on the endpaper mitts this week, and I have had all the needles right there on hand for when I need them.
But why stop there… I found the amazing practical Stitch Saver from 5elementknitr and some pattern tamers (to keep track of your line in a pattern), made by Slipped stitch studios. She has some amazing tamers – I had to buy some Twilight themed version for one of my swapees.

Super cool! I have a sweet friend who has taken to knitting and is making the most lovely scarves faster than she can give them away! Seriously, she made one on a plane and gave it to the woman sitting beside her as they deplaned!! Guess who’s getting this set for her birthday??
P.S. I would have happily shipped you the package had you won my giveaway!
