I have fallen in love with various tools and gadgets for needlework. They aren't exactly needlework but they are needlework adjacent. I'm wondering where Krista would prefer we put that sort of thing or if we should limit the conversation to projects alone. To be clear, I don't think we should be using her forum for hawking other people's stuff, but I do think it could be helpful to share a little bit about things we love to use or things we might want to try to see if anyone else has experience with them.

Love this topic! I have so many favorite tools! Something I use frequently is a 10x10 square Hardwicke manor hoop. It is big enough for most motifs, but small enough to manage. I use it with a stand (I've never been able to hold a hoop and stitch -- I would need more hands!). I move the hoop around as needed, and remove my piece at the end of each day. It has never given me any trouble with distortions or marks on the piece.
