73 PCS Knitting Tools Accessories Supplies Crochet Sewing Starter Kit Lots with Storage Case

At £6-99 I was quite pleased with the size of the box and even more pleased to find unused divider pieces were neatly stacked in one of the segments.The snipper is well made but is plastic so don't step on it.Three different sized cable needles, stitch holder and the very fine ended crochet hook will help capture a dropped stitch.The tape measure is accurately marked as so many in these kits are not."Smaller crochet for modification" This is metal and I would not use it for crochet. It is like the end of a knitting machine needle or what I once bought in a tiny version as a "Snag tool" made for pulling snagged threads to the inside of knitted fabrics such as Crimplene, I am showing my age now. You can use it to pull tiny strands of yarn (too small to grip) back through knitted or crochet work from front to back.Metal and plastic needles ok.Circle markers (complete rings) You slide these on to your knitting needles. Unfortunately these proved to be of the "HARD" variety and can sometimes scratch polished surfaces of wood needles and obliterate gradually any sizing marks on the surface of needles or interchangeable needle tips.The preferable "SOFT" variety don't damage needles and can flip from left hand needle to right hand needle more easily than these "hard" ones. I do use these "Hard" ones to mark the beginnings of part of an Aran pattern or on circular needles where the ring is spending most of its time on a cable as you knit. The ring marking the beginning of a circular row or marks on a sweater body knitted in the round where the front and back meet at both sides.Split marker rings. I suppose these have their uses - I keep a few around as you can thread through yarn layers used in crochet but I find in knitting they drop out too often for me. I prefer the plastic safety pin type of marker in knitting.Stainless steel tool for threading. This has a tiny ring that slides along the tool thus opening and tightly closing it. This would be much better for elastic or ribbon than a wide eyed blunt needle or a flat holed piece of plastic as it would hold the elastic tight while it travelled through a waistband or tube. Definitely worth having. Seller would be better calling it "Stainless Steel elastic and ribbon threader"Needle caps - commonly called point protectors. Apart from that use I keep some smaller ones to fit on the ends of cable needles which makes especially the thinner cable needles easier to pick up. This is for when I just hold stitches temporarily such as in a cable or plait and I can either knit from the cable needle or place saved stitches back on a knitting needle.Plastic locking markers - similar action to safety pins. You can use as markers or as stitch holders for a stitch or two. If I have to do 5 increases row by row - I close a marker pin nearby till I have five pins. Works the same with decreases.A tip, if you have the flexible kind of pin - they do tend to be dearer you can store unused any way but if yours are the more hard plastic leave them unfastened when out of user or they will snap quite soon.The more flexible ones I have even washed in the washing machine by mistake and they have survived.Gold copper pins. I don't know why they are called pins. These open and you can fix to things without loops or such things as old ear rings to use as personal knitting markers. I have gold, silver coloured ones in my stash as well as pink and blue. In the past I used silver ones to suspend things from a silver Christmas tree but you can use green thread or yarn through them to suspend things on to a green tree. Good idea I think.There are also two things unnamed that I call "pinching pegs". These have holes so could be "pinched" on to an object leaving no damage and be hung or suspended by yarn. You can also use them to hold knitted work together while you join them.I really feel that the price paid for this item is well worth it.nb. the box arrived save with its blue catch secure. I feel sure I have bought empty boxes such as these for sewing machine spools. There is another idea for you.

this is so brilliant for the price. Unfortunately, the case is a bit flimsy and the separators aren't flush with the lid or bottom, so they don't really work as separators...meaning the stitch markers end up all over the box...but you'd end up spending a small fortune should you buy the contents separately and so for this price, it's fantastic. Loses one star for the pants box...however it'd be worth double if the box was cooler.

I really like how many different items you receive although I did not like how the box which they came in and you use for storage has no dividers meaning they arrived all mixed up and if you do use the box for storage you will always have to search for which item you need. Surely a box with dividers could be substituted, this would make all the difference.

Firstly this wasnt handed to me as my app tells me it was, it was put on the ground behind a bush in the rain.Secondly what I have received is just a jumble of things messed up inside a plastic case. Not how the picture shows the contents

If you're just starting with knitting. This product is the best! I would recommend to buy counter to add to the box but their about 80p on here. But the scissors and needles along with all the accessories has been really helpful. The box itself is sturdy but would recommend you buy bigger one when you really get into knitting and crochet

It comes with everything as described and it was all still nicely displayed in the case. Some bits seem a little on the flimsy side but for the price you cant complain

In some of the cheaper alternatives for this sort of set have an inaccurate measuring tape. (I speak from experience!) This is spot-on. All the items are good quality and in a handy plastic box.

i am new to knitting and these items are saving me from going mad. Handy tips to stop stitches falling off and clips to mark where i need to count from. Not sure what all the items will be used for, but am sure I will get to them eventually - as my knitting skills improve!
