5 Knitting Measuring Tapes
My tape measure is a must for me as a knitter -- especially for knitting socks! I don't knit many other garments right now but I have to imagine tape measures are also essential for sweaters, shirts and other knitted wearables.
Whether we're measuring gauge swatches, checking the length of a scarf, or ensuring a sweater will fit just right, a reliable tape measure is a must-have tool in our knitting bags.
Here are some of my favorite Florida-themed tape measures that bring a touch of the beach, sunshine, and tropical vibes to our knitting projects!
