STITCH SAVER TOOL
The tool is 6” long overall with a plastic handle. The metal tine is pointed and wonderful for rescuing dropped stitches, hanging hems and transferring stitches. Circular sock machine knitters will also find it useful for raising and lowering needles. Tine is bent at approximately a 45 degree angle and the point is about 3/4" from the bend. Remove weights from the knitting before lifting stitches to avoid bending the slender hook. This tool is similar to the Passap “dental tool” but not quite as sturdy. It is a little easier to handle than most real dental tools and not quite as pointed, though it should still be handled with care. $4 plus $1 postage. Mailed First Class
GREASE PENCIL
Otherwise known as a China Marker. This is a humble basic tool but can be hard to find. It is useful for marking needles for hand selected patterning (like cables) or sock heels. The bright orange marks come right off if you wipe them with a rag. For charting attachments that use a plastic sheet, the grease pencil can be used to draw the pattern, then wiped off and redrawn for the next pattern. It's hard to make a mark on already oily surfaces so wipe the area to be marked before using the pencil. $4 includes postage and careful packaging.
LATCH TOOL
Latch tools wear out, get lost and can be hard to replace. These have unfinished hardwood handles 3.5" long with bevelled edges and fit the hand comfortably. They are easier to manipulate than those with skinny handles. Available IN standard, mid and bulky gauge. Passap knitters will be most comfortable with standard gauge. Be sure to click the correct button for the gauge you want and check your invoice to make sure you are getting what you meant to. Each tool is $8.00 plus $3.00 shipping.
