A Knitter with an Opinion? How absurd!
I hate to impose again on my very kind readers to pose another focus group question for the Gettin Knit Together Kit, but who knows better than you when it comes to what knitters want??
So, if you'll endulge me once again, I am trying to find out what would be best to add to the product package.
I am considering a great six inch magnifying ruler that would be used to follow along and enlarge patterns and charts: Lord knows, I can't see a thing. A really cute Knit and Plenty retractable tape measure, cuz I can never have enough of those.
Or really cute woven labels to sew into sweaters - because I'd never spring for those myself, but if I had some, I'd use 'em.
What do you think? Can you give me your choices in order of first, second or third preference?
I promise I'll try and be witty tomorrow. ;-) Thanks!
My choices would be:
1. ruler
2. tape measure
3. labels
What great ideas you have!!

My choice would be: tape measure, labels, ruler. However, the one thing I'm always wanting on hand when I knit is a good size post-it-note to make notes on and a pen. Hope this helps! So, are you going to the LYS sale on Thursday?

Those are all great things to add to your kit! Here are my choices:
1. Ruler
2. Tape measure
3. Labels

Tied for first: Tape measurer and ruler.
BTW, I got busy and never told you how much I like the demo you sent........

Ruler (if it can be used for checking gauge easily!), then tape measure, then labels :)
Good luck!

Definitely the ruler--this would be invaluable to the gauge-challenged, such as myself.

Tape measure is always useful...and I vote for more of a gauge checker ruler rather than a magnifying one. Labels...well, yes, they would be nice, but I think I'd only sew in a personalized one. So I guess that's the order I vote for!

I agree that some cute post-it notes would be great. Am I the only one with about 5 rulers already?

Tape Measure

I'm probably too late to be of any help, but I'd say magnifying ruler, tape measure, then labels.
