they were. No pins dropping on the floor 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
project--the fabric I'm sewing is (mostly) felted, and very thick.
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.
been on a shawl/wrap kick], so these little wonders sat 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.

Knit Klips holding the two halves together. I did all the sewing of the
fish, while mom started to crochet them together. She did rows 1 - 9
and I did 10 - 15. When it was all done, we put the two halves
together. I am TOTALLY in love with those Knit Klips. Very good
choice of gift sib!

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.
