or stabbing you in the finger. It was so quick to pin the sleeve - literally a minute instead of the usual 5 or 10 then
wondering if there are any stray pins lurking around - which is not a good thing when you have a nosy fury creature
around! So to anyone wondering if they're worth getting, oh yes, they are an absolute must have. I got a pack of 10
and that seems to enough. Even DH was impressed with them.
What I used the Knit Klips on was York and I happily sewed a sleeve into the armhole quickly and easily without
worrying about those darn pins. The second sleeve has been knit klipped all ready to go. I ended up using some 6 ply
sock yarn doubled for sewing up. We all know not to use Kureyon for sewing up unless we want to risk losing our
sanity - or what we have left of it anyway ;)
One of the fabulous new products I scoped out at the recent Knit and Crochet Show in King of Prussia, PA is called Knit Klips. I
grabbed a bag at the show and just had the opportunity to use them for the first time, and I am now a convert!
These clever pink plastic clips hold your knitted pieces together while you are seaming them up. There is a long plastic prong
between the two sides of the clip, which can slide through the knitted stitches to hold the work together. They were so much
easier to use than pins because you can easily move them around, and there is no worry you will leave one in and forget about it
like you might with a straight pin! The length of the prong means you can hold together even bulky knits, the sample in the photo
above was a light worsted weight. Start at one end, and pop the clips out as you go, then use them again to hold the next seam
together.
Sold in packages of 5, 10 and 15, you can find them at your local yarn store, or at KnitKlips.com
Pins would bunch it up, and be hard to get through the fabric--but the clips hold things well, and align them perfectly--you can
even set them up to use on the right side of the garment for mattress stitch, but in this case, all my seams are on the inside. Oh,
and lest you wonder how they're different from any old spring-loaded clip, they have one long tooth that can stick through just
about any thickness of fabric and hold it in place--also, they're designed not to catch or snag.
unreviewed for more than a year. What a waste! They are absolutely brilliant!
They're the simplest of devices, yet unequalled for seaming. A strong spring-loaded clip is attached to a smooth
[non-snagging!] post that goes through your knitted work to hold it in place for seaming. Very cool for laying two right
sides together and making sure they behave till you've finished with the needle and yarn.
But even cooler? Try them for mattress stitching [see pic at left]. Things stay where you put them, you can see what
you're doing clearly, without obstruction, and seaming becomes, dare I say it, fun! Buy the big packs. You'll want tons of
these babies. Knit Klips are an essential, affordable tool that every knitter should have in their accessory case.

The Klip Koncept
But now we have yet another device that, while it won't revolutionize the way we knit, will definitely make seaming easier.
It's called a Knit Klip. Knit Klips operate like the popular butterfly-style hair clips, only they're smaller and have a single
spike instead of two meshing combs. The spike meets a small hole on the other side of the clip, firmly securing whatever
it's holding. Using Knit Klips is pretty intuitive. Simply line up the items to be seamed (front to front, or back to back,
whichever way the pattern suggests) and position the clamps evenly along the area to be seamed. Once you've secured
the whole thing, you can go back and fine-tune your alignment. If you really want to be precise, count and match the rows
on each side before placing a clip, so that the rows match perfectly.

This is a must-have product for your knitting tote. Once you use Knit Klips you will wonder
how you ever did without them. They are that good! These little wonders are better than
pins for holding garment pieces together when you join seams. As the manufacturer
accurately states on the front of the package, “finish faster, finish easier.” Knit Klips are so
easy to use, whether joining two pieces with mattress stitch or using backstitch, you can
secure your work before sewing the seams. The construction is sturdy and smooth so
yarns won’t snag, and the ingenious design works on all kinds of yarn. Unlike large metal
paper clips that pinch, these have a single center “tooth” that helps precisely align rows.
This alignment pin takes out the guesswork and avoids mistakes. Get a Mega Pack of
fifteen Knit Klips to keep and a couple of extra packs for gifts; otherwise, your friends may
“borrow” yours for a very long time!

Gifts for knitters, Day 11: These really cool Knit Klips. I have a package of them and use
them all the time. They're clips that have one spiky thing that can hold two pieces of
knitting together better than pins and faster than basting. I'm using them when I sew the
tops of the slippers to the bottoms. I centre the seams at the back and front then clip in a
few places to make sure that I sew it together evenly and that things stay aligned. I've
used them for sleeves too, and they're handy as all get out. I got the 10 pack, and it's as
many as I've ever needed. Pack of those in a stocking while you toss around the phrase
"mattress stitch" and I bet your knitter will be seriously impressed.
