A sudden influx!

Well, it’s been a busy few days unpacking, photographing and generally getting excited about big brown boxes arriving at the office! First on the veritable conveyor belt of new goodies we’re in the process of adding to the web site are more fabulous needles from Knit Pro. As well as the original Symfonie laminated Birch needles we’ve now got Nova Metal, Spectra & Spectra Flair. We’ve got a selection of Interchangeable Needle Sets that are ideal for gifts (for yourself as well as other people – ssshhhh!) as well as double pointed needles and additional needle tips and cables.

In addition to the needles we’ve also got the cool ‘test tube’ needle holder and the eminently practical Magma Chart Keepers.

There’s new yarn being added to the site as I type so keep an eye out for wonderfulness from Fyberspates, Lana Grossa and more in the next few days…

Olive anyone?

teeny tiny sock needles!

Yes… it does feel a little like knitting with cocktail sticks!

I’m road testing these 10cm double pointed needles from Knit Pro… and I like them a lot! After a couple of rounds feeling like I’d somehow been transported into the pages of Gulliver’s Travels I soon developed a nice easy rhythm and in no time I’d got half a sock – and Chris has now stopped asking me if I’m going to do some teeny tiny knitting…

They are smooth and pointy – as you’d expect from Knit Pro – and the short length does make for very speedy, tidy knitting as well as making the sock-in-progress very portable, which is always handy!

(Especially when you are up against a deadline… yes, that is indeed a Through the Loops Mystery Sock that you are spying… ssshhhh!)

The yarn is Natural Dye Studio Dazzle Sock in Aqua… and it is gorgeous!
