Sometimes when working on a flat bed knitting machine you’ll need to work with needles with open latches. A tool that quickly and easily opens those latches is essential - historically one would make a latch opener from cutting a plastic card diagonally. I wanted something better and came up with a letter opener (which could also cut thread as needed.) Perhaps someone somewhere else came up with this same great idea.
