While most people think of knitting as something done with two needles, I struggled to get the right tension and even rows. Looms are my secret weapon! They are easy to carry around and easily help keep neat rows. Bonus, there's less to count, too!

KB Afghan Loom
You'll thank me for this later! Not only is it great to have a spare, but the shape of this handle will make the repeated motion a lot easier on your joints.

Quick-Locking Stitch Markers, Medium

Knitter's Pride™ Size 10 Row Counter Ring
You might be questioning why I would put a crochet hook as a recommendation on a knitting board. I'm so glad you asked! When you finish your project, crochet hooks are perfect for hiding the yarn tail.
Prym® Ergonomics Crochet Hook
Yarn I love
I'm a big fan of big, chunky yarn for blankets. Always consult your pattern for the size yarn you need for your project.

Bernat Blanket Ombre Yarn
This would make a beautiful scarf!
3 Pack Lion Brand® Mandala String Yarn
I just used the Loops and Threads brand for the first time on my last project. I was really impressed with it!
