Remember my lovely little chart keeper from Knitpicks? Well, it appears that a very short thief stole all the magnets for the thing. The magnets were completely perfect. They were strong enough without being too strong. And a pretty color to boot.
I’ve looked everywhere to no avail. I think I need to get Dana to lift the couch just to make sure the thief didn’t use some freakish toddler physics of velocity to get the things way far under there. I fear she put them in the trash.
Today we went to the stationary store and the hardware store looking for replacements. I did get some roll up magnet stuff that I have very little hope will work but that’s it. So I decided to enter the word magnets on the internet. Let the freakshow begin!
Who knew there were so many kinds of magnets and so many magnets for industrial type stuff. I’m just a knitter in need of magnets. Sadly searching on "knitting magnets" didn’t really work out all that well. Knitpicks doesn’t advertise that they sell replacements but I’m going to send them an email and act desperate. We’ll see if that works out.
Shame on that little thief! I bought the cutest little Laura Ashley magnets at Michaels and use them for my charts. You might try there. They are close to the front in those little $$ bins.
Now, you can’t be tossing blame at some one on the short side without the proper evidence. Remember that the short person in the house is innocent until proven guilty.
For replacement magnets, try the needlework aisle of your nearest craft store. I can’t remember the name of the brand but there is a company that makes magnetic holders for stitchers and I am pretty sure that they sell replacement magnets. And remember to buy something pretty for the short person in the house.
She probably stuck them to something, and you’ll find them right after you buy new ones.
Try Joann’s. Or Michael’s. They probably sell magnet boards, and extra magnets to go with them.
Or if you can’t find them locally, try here:

Look under accessories, they have them.
1 kid… easy answer when the question is asked ‘who did that?’
I say she’s guilty! No proof required. Two kids or more it would be a different story altogether.
(too funny!)
