Great trick! With it it’s very easy to make the long tail cast-on for knitting without calculation :)

Knitting Chart Marker
I find the knitting chart marker really useful.
But mine had to be firm enough to really lay flat on the knitting chart.

Knitting Printer
Sky Scarf
I find this a most beautiful idea: to get a more or less randomly striped scarf you relate a beautiful blue to every wheather and knit every day a little piece reflecting the wheather of the day: a sky scarf :)
By the way, I heard that somebody knitted the sky scarf with grey beads for rain and white sequins for snow!

Round Pinwheel Rug
Hooks and Needles Holder
Such a cute idea: simply cover a flower pot with a colourful crochet net and you get an hooks and needles holder :)

Knitted Flowers
There are lots of knitted flowers, but I find these knitted flowers here brilliant: simply knit a rectangle with drop stitches and knit and sew it in an adequate way (that’s the extra short short summary now ;-)).

Waist Shaping Calculator
No, you can’t calculate how to get a small waist with the waist shaping calculator, but how to fit your hand knitted/crocheted sweater perfectly to your existent waist.
It’s also worthy ;-)

Knitted Bead Jewelry
I find this necklace from knitted beads cute – I can imagine it easily with summer socks wool or simply with different yarn rests :)
