Maker’s Keep

Mr. FedEx dropped by today with a box from Cocoknits. The Maker’s Board did not arrive. They are about 2 weeks out. 

These are the Maker’s Keep.

One of the many advantages to knitting is that you can take it with you everywhere! And, in the process, lose little knitting notions everywhere! I wanted a way to truly contain all my knitting tools while traveling – so I came up with the Maker’s Keep magnetic bracelet. It is a slap-bracelet so it fits everyone (one size truly fits all here). You can wear it, or simply drop it in your knitting tool bag to keep all the tools together – or even unfurl it and push the magnet to one end to use it as a straight edge while reading down a pattern. 

In addition to knitting, I use mine for sewing (it’s great for holding pins!) and we have heard from customers who have used their MK for holding paper clips at work, hairpins (especially while doing hair for weddings!), nails and screws while working around the house, and even for fly fishing!

All Cocoknits accessories are magnetic and will stick to the Maker’s Keep.

We love Newleaf from Jennifer Steingass (pattern purchased on Ravelry). I wore mine today and it prompted us to make up new kits.

The website has been updated. With some changes that we made to the website we were able to put all the sizes on the same page. It’s much easier to purchase now. We hope to have more Le Petit Lambswool (the main colour) in the next few weeks and will be able to make more combinations.

My Inclinations Shawl is growing. I’m half way through the last two colours so I will finish over the weekend. We should receive more Malabrigo Rios on Monday and then I will put together a few more Rios combinations. The shawl is very soothing to knit. The stitch is easy but not boring. Working with yarn that changes colour is a bonus. You need to knit one more row to see what the next colour will look like.
