This might seem like a no-brainer for some, but I used a zipper bag for all of my crochet tools for the longest time. It worked great, however I would have to fumble through the bag to find what I was looking for. This case keeps things exactly where I put them. All of my hooks stay organized! I love that I can open it and know exactly where my favorite hook is. I have all of my smaller hooks in the inner zipper and the larger hooks are in the individual slots. It fits perfectly in my project tote. I chose the teal one.

Speaking of crochet hooks, I LOVE these larger Clover hooks to work with bulky yarn. I use the knife grip hold when I crochet, so it’s hard to find good hooks that are long enough to hold comfortably. The colors are pretty too!

When I’m crocheting amigurumi with worsted weight yarn, I use a paper clip as my stitch marker because I can take it off quickly when changing rounds. I have tried a paper clip with plush yarns, and it doesn’t work well…at all. It gets lost in the stitches or it falls out. These clover stitch markers are light weight and they lock! They are so easy to work with.

When I started creating video content for crochet, I wanted something affordable and durable. After lots of research I decided to give this a try. I have used this for overhead filming for a few years now and it still works amazing! I actually have two. One stays on my shelf above my desk and another one is on a little stand that I use more like a tripod. I don’t have an actual camera, I only use my phone. It’s so quick to just clamp it in place and start recording. Not much setup and it’s foldable so it can be stored away if you prefer. I like to keep mine out all the time because I use it daily.

As a crochet business, I am on my phone or computer a lot! I started getting headaches and thought it couldn't hurt to give these blue light glasses a try. I’m surprised with how well they work for me.

This LED Neck Light is so helpful when working with darker yarn, especially black yarn! It works great for nighttime crochet too. There are different settings for the brightness on each Individual light. You can turn one light off and use just one light if you prefer. It is light weight and comes with a charging cord.

Hair scrunchies work great for holding a partially used skein of yarn together. This is a good temporary fix until you get around to winding the yarn if you choose to do so.

Staying organized keeps my mind at ease. These storage cubes are great for storing my neutral yarn colors under my desk or in the closet. I stand the yarn up so it’s easy to see what is in each cube. I keep one cube on my desk for current wips.

There is nothing like a good writing pen. The TUL retractable gel pens write so smooth and the colors are gorgeous. When I ship orders out, I always include a hand written thank you note and use these pens for each one. I also use these when I’m designing new patterns, drafting blog posts and everyday office work.

Binders are wonderful for keep patterns organized. I have a few binders that hold crochet patterns. They are separated by the type of project it is (amigurumi, wearables, blankets, home decor). I also have a binder that holds all of my receipts, online orders, and tax documents. I use cardstock for dividers and separate everything by the month.
