Write a few short paragraphs from the point of view of one of the tools you use for your craft. Then, write a dialogue between yourself and this item.

I may look unassuming, but I’m actually the most vital and important item in Triona’s knitting arsenal.

Before I came along a few years ago, this is what her notions bag looked like:

Pretty horrific, huh? You should have seen her root through there every time she needed a stitch marker, yarn needle, or tape measure.

Not to toot my own horn too much, but I’m awesome. I have a tape measure, crochet hook for picking up dropped stitches, row counter and yarn cutter… and that’s before I’m even OPEN.

Inside, I’ve got room for every common notion a knitter needs:

I mean, really. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Triona: Okay, hang on. I’m stepping in here. I know you think you’re the greatest knitting tool in the universe, but I think you’ve forgotten one important fact. I replaced almost all your inside contents with my own stuff within a month of getting you.

Knit Kit: Hey, it wasn’t my fault that I came with an inferior yarn needle, stitch markers, and point protectors. Or that my creators didn’t assume you would be using interchangeable needles and would therefore need tightening keys. My awesomeness still stands.

Triona: All right, I’ll give you that. Having a small, compact container to throw in my knitting bag when I travel has been pretty amazing.

Knit Kit (smugly): I’ve been to Rome.

Triona: Don’t push your luck, KK.
