Rose is the winner!
I’ve been doing some spring cleaning in my office (even though it’s not quite spring yet, it certainly feels like it!) and I found this little gadget and thought someone might like it.
The Knee-sel from Nancy’s Knit Knacks is a little fabric easel, for lack of a better word, that is sturdy enough to hold your pattern in place while you’re knitting from a chart. It straps around your leg and also props up against your leg to hold the chart or pattern where you can see it. It also has a little pouch to hold a pen for marking what row you are on or taking notes (it could also hold a cable needle).
I never tried this so it is new in the bag. Mine is size small, which is says is for a 15-25 inch leg. It’s sold black and measures 8 inches wide, 6.5 inches tall and 5/16 inch thick. They retail for $29.99
for full information and more pictures of the Knee-sel in action.
If you’d like a chance to win this, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, March 13. I’d love to know if you have any tricks for keeping up with where you are in a chart, or what you would use this gadget for.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I’ve never seen anything like this – would love to try it out!
What a neat idea! I would love to have one!
I would use it when knitting in public and a table isn’t available.
i keep my place on charts by using the highlighter tape so I can move it up to the next row after I finished a row.
Wow never seen one of these would love one would be so useful
This awesome!!! Thank you for the chance to win!
I would love to try one of these. This would be so helpful holding my cross stitch patterns. And I highlight on my pattern to keep track of where I am. It helps a lot
I’d love to try this. Thanks for the chance!
I’d love this!
Boy, could I use this!! I do a lot of knitting and crocheting as I’m listening to TV shows. This is a great Idea!! Thank you for the giveaway!
Would love to try this. I currently use the sofa arm, which is not the best angle.
Would love to have one
This would be awesome when traveling. It’s hard to keep your pattern in easy reach when riding in a car, this would make it so much easier.
I would like this. Our animals like to lay on the pattern I’m using. This could be great.
Would definitely love one of these, 2 or 3 actually!!
My husband is a cancer patient so I spend HOURS sitting in waiting rooms during his treatments. This gadget would make it so much easier for me to follow a pattern as there are never enough tables next to chairs on which to layout my instructions. Love the idea of this – convenient, portable & useful – with this I could actually knit things that don’t require me to memorize patterns and then end up doing a lot more frogging than knitting! Think I’ve developed chemo brain by osmosis!
I would use this for holding my cross stitch patterns, not knitting. How clever.
I really need this as I must keep my patterns close as my eyesight gets worst as I get older
I could use this for quilling when I need to make different shapes, while I watch TV. What a great idea!
What a great idea,l knit and crochet a lot and l’m always dropping my patterns and losing my place. This would good to use on a train,coach or airplane
I knit baby hats for the hospital and this would be so handy for holding the pattern
What a genius idea! I usually use a Post-it note to mark my place in my pattern.
Very Clever.
What a great idea. Thanks
I do a lot of lace knitting and use charts. This would be very helpful.
Very interesting! I would love a chance to win this.
I mark each row when I have completed it. Use stitch markers between each pattern repeat/section. Lifelines are a must! Don’t remove a lifeline until you have done a few rows after putting in a second lifeline. Handy to use a metal tray at back and a magnet glued to a ruler on the front.
This is something that I could truly use. Love it.
What a cool idea! I usually use the pattern and post-its!
I do a lot of my knitting, so space is always at a premium. Can see this being really useful away from home.
I would love a chance to win this item. How handy to use while knitting and riding in the car! Love this.
I tried using the car in my lap the pattern on. Not much luck there!
What a nifty product! I’m a cross stitcher and this would be ideal while I travel. I use a highlighter to mark what I’ve completed and it’s difficult to balance everything on that tiny plane table!
This looks like a brilliant solution for a major frustration! And I appreciate the tips in other comments… definitely learned a couple of good ideas, so thanks!!!
Have a hard time looking at a pattern while knitting, this is perfect
This would be nice to have while traveling in the car on long trips. I would really like to have it. I would for use it at home so I don’t have to pick up the instructions from the table or knitting bag.
It would be great to hold the pattern when I’m sitting on the sofa. As I use reading glasses any other easel is too far away to read easily.
This would be great!! It would be super helpful with my current situation. I wish I had something like this when my baby was small and needed rocking. 🙂

Interesting and worth a try.
I use the see-thru colored tape to mark pattern lines and usually stick the pattern on a book holder. This would probably me more convenient tho! Thank you.
I would love to win something like this as I do a lot of knitting (and crocheting) in the car. I use colored pencils to mark where I am in a pattern. Easy to erase when I am done or use a different color next time!
this looks like a “gadget” that is actually very helpful! Wouldn’t be stuck in a corner & forgotten!
My daughter would love this,she has a special needs son,they travel in a camper so her space is limited,she could really use this to hold her patterns! Thank you for the giveaway!
What a great idea!!! Genius. I would love one! Stop to old the paper or to count rows sucks 🙂
What an innovative idea!
Thank you for this awesome give-a-way. I would love a chance at this item. I could use it for all my needle crafts – knitting, crochet, cross stitch, needlepoint. The possibilities are endless.
What a wonderful invention – wish I would have thought of it all those times I needed to closely follow a detailed pattern step. I would use this for knitting or crochet. Oh – this would be good for needlework too. I need one of these.
I have never seen anything like this before. I would definitely use it for knitting.
Why didn’t I think of this? Great idea. I mark the row on the pattern when it is done, and set my pattern on the arm of my chair, this would be so much easier!
what a nifty idea! would love this I’m sure. thanks for the chance!
This is such an ingenious invention, and one that I could really make use of – especially when knitting in the car!! I’m currently using a book holder, with post its’ to keep track of the row I’m on, and a note book to mark the rows I’ve completed. In the car, I have to keep the pattern flat on the seat, or on my lap. It gets hard to do in the Winter. Thank you for such a great giveaway!! This is the best one yet!!
