I do love knitting with wooden DPNs however this would be a dream set of needles to own in both 2.25mm and 2.5mm, my usual size needles for sock knitting. I have been hearing nothing but good things for the people who have been able to get them. I want to be one of those people.
Signature Needles Set
Yes, I do have these twice for a specific reason; I am anticipating the love. I'd definitely add in another set of 2.25 and 2.5mm sized needles, 2 sets of 3US, a 4 and a 5US. That should be able to tide me over.
A desk and an extra bookcase
Seems simple enough, right? I just don't have the space for these things in my current accommodations and furniture set up. I have a lot of extra crap in my book shelf that is taking up valuable real estate. A lot of this can be taken care of with a good clearing but I didn't intend for the Expedite Bookcase to have any other books other than knitting related books. My other bookcase, that I am convinced is older than my 30+ years has had 2 busted shelves for as long as I can remember. I am not really willing to invest time and materials in a low quality bookcase that has seen better days. I really just want a simple bookcase that I can place all my novels in and other various books.
A desk would be useful to put a computer and to write on. I don't own one of those, other than my lap; not very comfortable.

Jessalu Knitting Bag
I have a non-secret love for containers...any kind of containers. So a useful knitting can only be beneficial, right? Throw in artful and useful bags, I'm in container heaven.

With my love of Star Trek, why in the world wouldn't I want this? She even ranges to Downton Abbey and Dr. Who. I think I'll need quite a few of these; for the multiple sock projects I'll be travelling with and the massive amounts of Signature Needles I'll own.
Proper Ball Winder
The ball winder I had was good when I got it. I paid $20 bucks for it and I got my money's worth. The table mount broke on me earlier on this year. While I have been using the grip handle it also came with in the mean time, I much prefer the table mount. I have to look into a better quality one, meant to last for more than a year,.

Indigodragonfly MCN Sock Yarn
I went to the Purple Purl in Toronto specifically to purchase one skein of Indigodragonfly Sock Yarn. The reason? I love the names of the yarn. I left with my first Purple Purl purchase of a skein of Indigodragonfly MCN Sock Yarn in Groverkill. It's still sitting my my stash and is primarily for petting purposes right now. I finally did manage to knit with a skein when I received the same sock yarn from the Cookie Sock Club 2013 in the colourway E Pluribus Nom Nom Nom. It feels even better to wear the socks. Now? Every colourway in MCN wanted in my stash.
Tanis Fiber Arts Yarn
I love the idea of locally made products. I'll even go as far to say all over Canada, since that is the country where I was born and raised. I do have a strong preference for it. When I started knitting again a couple of years back, I was introduced to the Canadian Indie Dyer, Tanis Fiber Arts (let's just be clear, I have never had the privilege of meeting the actual Tanis). Let me just say that it feels lovely. I would love for this to be an on hand stash, meaning anytime I felt the whim to cast on something new, I would have many various skeins already in my possession to do so. I had a skein sitting in my stash from the Purple Purl for almost a 6 months, and then bought 2 more skeins and let it sit there for another 6 months before I finally started using it. I just want to be able to do the yarn justice with a proper sock. So it's getting it's chance on the Spock Socks (aka: ...fascinating).
Wollmeise Twin
I don't know about buying it directly from the shop since it updates at times when I'd prefer to sleep, however a lot of people do destashes on Ravelry. I'd love to have a multi coloured stash of Wollmeise Twin Sock Yarn just waiting for me to knit socks with.
Wooden Yarn Bowl
I have been seeing yarn bowls all over Ravelry and I would love to have one, in a knitting corner, with a comfy chair, end table and table lamp for when the sun sets and I need good lighting. As you can clearly tell, I have my knitting nook all planned in my head. It could definitely also double as an art piece on the Expedite Shelving system.
Jars
I love interesting containers. Even a vase would do. The jars would just be for display purposes that I can pluck a ball of sock yarn leftovers from at any moment. Perfect for display on the Expedite Shelving system.
A Card Catalogue Cabinet.
After seeing someone stashing their sock yarn inside a card catalogue cabinet, I decided I need one of these things. And then I saw the price for them and thought "pipe dream". I did another search and saw a DIY project to make a Card Catalogue Cabinet. I definitely want to make one of these instead of buying one.
