The Kit for Knit Wits
Downtown knitsters (and you know who you are) prone to stitching have no need to be bitchin’ for the holidays. First, there’s the just-released sequel to Debbie Stoller’s trend-defining handbook Stitch ‘n’ Bitch Nation. But most especially, thanks to Jen Forrest, the crafty Toronto gal behind Bennie & Olive, who is doing for errant knitting tools what the precious knife roll is to cheffy types, with her gifty new wrap-and-roll needle carriers ($49, paraphernalia not included).
Alas, you won’t find the red, gold or brown felt knitter’s kits at any of the trendy new knit shops in town like Knitomatic, the Knitting Place (1738 Avenue Rd.), the Knit Café (1050 Queen St. W.), or even Lettuce Knit in Kensington. Not even yarn dowager Romni Wools stocks them. They are only at Comrags on Queen West.
