Even those who are far from the world of handicrafts know how many different types of knitting tools exist.

Each type of knitting needle is designed to make specific things.

For example, if you are thinking about knitting a wide item from thin yarn, you will need long thin knitting needles.

Didn't find the necessary "accessory" at hand? Don't despair - use two of the five knitting needles you use to knit socks.

You may disagree, which is understandable, because the product will slip off the short needles.

However, don’t be too quick to shake your head – to “modernize” your knitting needles, all you need is an eraser, or, as it is also called, a knitting needle eraser.

Cut off a few small cubes from it, then pierce the cube with a knitting needle and push it in about 1 cm.

It's quite easy to do, but the elastic will be secured to the knitting needles more than thoroughly. In any case, the product will be firmly attached to the knitting needles thanks to such a clever life hack.
