Knit Foundry: Product: Ultimate Storage Container
First to recommend
Description
I have, like, a gazillion knitting needles. And yet? When it comes time to cast on a new project, half the time I'd rather buy a new set than try to find the right size in the ones I've got. I've recently come upon a good solution for circulars (I'll tell you about that in a separate post) but a decent DPN solution eluded me... until now.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: a tube. Why didn't I think of that?!

Knitter's Satchel | Jordana Paige
3 people recommended this item
Description
For a bag that makes you look like you actually give a damn -- rather than that horrid clear plastic freebie you snagged from your LYS -- it comes at a bargain price. I know, I know, you'd rather have that money to spend on yarn imported from the Himalayas hand spun from virgin yak hair, but trust me on this: nothing you'll knit with is a better investment than this bag.
To this day, knitters get a bad rap style-wise. And who can blame the ignorant rapper if he or she has ever been gifted with a chunky cable and bobble knit that has all the grace and style of one of Aunt Sally's appliqued sweatshirts, hm? No one, that's who. It might be fun to knit but it makes your poor giftee look like a pony-shaped birthday cake.
So do your part for your fellow knitter and if you're going to work on that stockinette on line in the bank, stand up straight, brush your hair for god's sake, and carry a handsome bag, will you?
I have it in blue.

Yarntainer - Yarn solutions for knitting, yarns and yarn supplies.
First to recommend
Description
If you're like me, your eye twitches when your skein starts traveling across the couch (or the floor) creating knots and a horrible temptation for the cat. The yarntainer provides all the protection and satisfaction of ye olde "coffee can with a hole in the lid" solution, but with a tad more panache.
And who can pass up panache?

Ravelry - a knit and crochet community
First to recommend
Description
At long last, a social network that I can actually USE! Ravelry replaces my tattered and ill-kept knitting project journal with an online version that plays nice with Flickr -- allowing me to compulsively catalog each stage of each project, keep a queue of what projects I've got coming up, catalog my stash for trades/sales/destashing and log my pattern books. I can also search for who else has knit any pattern and see what they have to say about it, any modifications they made, etc. It's more useful (in a hundred ways) and actually takes less time than maintaining a manual record. Yay, technology! (via Casey)

Urban Achiever T-shirt
First to recommend
Description
My husband -- who is not a matching outfits kind of guy -- must have been hit with some kind of fit: he bought us His and Hers matching ACHIEVER t-shirts and topped that gesture off with an ACHIEVER onesie for our unborn baby's layette.
I couldn't be more proud. (via Matt Fraction)

hammered hoop earring

Description
Searching for a pair of delicate gold hoops and not having much luck? These fit the bill beautifully.
Banish those bold ear bracelets to the bathroom bin, baby. They make you look like Janet Jackson circa Rhythm Nation.
Seriously. (via Meshel Cook)

I decided to give Thinking Rock a try while I wait for OmniFocus and I have to say, I'm really loving it as a way to help me manage my workload. The flowchart set up make it easy to see where I'm at and the collection page makes it easy for me to jot a note down whenever something comes to mind.
If you're a GTD devotee, this is worth a shot.

Kinkless GTD | Simple tools.
First to recommend
Description
I read David Allen's GETTING THINGS DONE late last year and loved it, but floundered when it came time to implement my lists. I love lists! But I just couldn't find a way to set them up that made them easy to update and satified my shameful need for neatness. (I'm one of those people who needs pretty notebooks.)
Kinkless is the best solution I've found yet. The only downside is that while Kinkless is free, it does require Omni Outliner Pro. Of course, I've now grown fond of Omni Outliner and now consider it money well-spent. (via 43Folders)

Description
My father sent me this for Christmas last year and I just love it. It's parked right next to my computer and its insane cuteness always makes me smile.
It serves equally well as an ipod speaker or NPR delivery system.
