Quick bit of research
2 comments
I had an exciting idea a few days ago, and set about designing a credit-card sized, metric needle gauge with 5 cm / 2 inch rule and WPI gauge. After much battling with Illustrator the design is ready. I was planning to use these as promotional items, but it seems that getting them laser cut will cost much more than I hoped so I’ll have to get quite a few in order to make it worthwhile.
My questions are:
- Would you buy one?
- Would you prefer it to be made of recycled board (so it would fit in your wallet), 3 mm tough acrylic, or 6 mm wood?
- How much would you be prepared to pay for such a thing?
Either comment below, PM me on Ravelry (suziesparkle), or use the contact form.
I’ll put everyone who has responded into a draw for a free one if I get them made.
Thanks!
I do have a needle gauge somewhere but I’m not sure if I’ve ever used it. I’ve never used a WPI gauge either.
I used to have a little ruler but one day I left it upstairs and I was so lazy that instead of going to get it I downloaded an iPhone app called RulerPlus which has a 2″ ruler. I suppose I’m not a very gadgetty knitter…
I’ve been meaning to buy a needle gauge for a while so would definitely consider buying one – wouldn’t spend much though as I am a cheapskate! No more than £3 I reckon. I would prefer a wooden one, but would go for acrylic if wood was too expensive. Wouldn’t be interested in a board one for my wallet as I tend to keep all of my knitting things together in one bag. Hope this helps – keep up the good work!
