Whether you're a beginner knitter or a seasoned pro, there are a few essential items that every knitter needs. Knitting needles are, of course, at the top of the list - but what else do you need to get started?

Here's a quick rundown of the must-have items for any knitter:

- Knitting needles: You'll need a pair of knitting needles in order to get started. Look for needles made from materials like bamboo or metal - these will be easier to work with than plastic or wood needles.

- A stitch holder: This is a small device that helps you keep your stitches in place while you're working on your project. It's especially helpful if you're working on a large project with many stitches.

- A coffee mug: Knitting can be relaxing, but it can also be frustrating if you make mistakes. Keep a mug of hot coffee or tea close by to help you stay calm and focused while you work.

With these essential items, you'll be ready to start knitting your next project!
