You know I love to knit sooooooo,
I'm going to show you something I bought for it.
These things are just amazing!
I bought 2 sets of interchangeable wooden needles,
* Wood is so much better than steel
or any other slippery needles*,
2 sets of cables to go with the needles,
some stitch separators and some tip protectors.
Now ordinarily, you'd just say they're
just like any other cables or needles you'd buy.
They're not.
For one, the needles screw on tightly
with the help of the tool that comes with them.
Secondly,
don't you just love the colors of those needles?
Third, they also come with thread protectors
for the ends of the cables.
So if you want to stop working
on one project, you can just
put the thread protectors on the ends of
the one you're working on
and put the needles on another cable you want
to work on, so you're not limited to
just one project!
☺ ☺ ☺
I bought these things because you really
can't make any large pieces
with 10 or 12 inch needles.
For example, in this next picture, you can see
2 regular needles that are holding 80 stitches.
Now the brown circle you see is a cable
with 520 stitches on it!
Awesome, isn't it!
To get these wonderful interchangeable sets,
there's only one place that has
these beautiful needles.
You can get them at:
(store if there's one near you, or on line at

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteFirstly thanks for stopping by (I've returned the follow:) I hope we will visit each other often.
Now, about those needles...ooowee, they are awesome! Ya know, I have mused a-many-a-day at the different cool types of knitting needles over at knitpicks. I will stay tuned to see what you work up.
I agree about wooden needles being better too.
Thank you for following, Sabina! I'll do my best to wander over to your site as often as I can. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those needles are even nicer in person. I just love them!
I'm working on several projects so it'll probably be a while before I have anything completed to show.. Isn't that the way we work? lol
