BEGINNER'S TOOL KIT PINS Plastic-head pins are useful for checking tension and blocking out items. Pins with coloured heads are best because they do not get lost in your work. ROW COUNTER A row counter is helpful for keeping track of rows worked, particularly where increases, decreases or other kinds of patterning occur.
