Tuesday Goodies
The postman comes to visit so often that I feel I should get a frequent buyer discount from Canada Post!
Today he brought my KnitPicks needles
All I can say is HOLY TOOT THESE ARE AMAZING – YOU HAVE TO GET SOME!
….Ok, I’ll try to be a bit more circumspect in my descriptions
BUT OMG THEY ARE NICEST NEEDLES EVER!
…..no really, they are
AND THEY GAVE ME 6 NEEDLES IN THE CIRCS!
….they must have seen me rooting under the bed and the couch looking for the *(()*&^$%^$ missing needle.
already in use on Tofutsie Jaywalkers:
In use on Hemlock KAL
As if that’s not cool enough, on the weekend I went to a new store at Ossington and Bloor (102 Ossington to be exact) that’s opened by a local yarn farm (what else do you call them?)
Lindenhof Wool Mill is testing the market so to speak – come out in droves please – you won’t be disappointed. They’ve got scrumptious bats and roving, wonderful mohair/wool crosses, patterns, kits….lovely stuff really. Somehow I went on a burgundy kick (not really my colours but they were so rich and soft that they grabbed me just the same)
I am very anxious to start spinning, but I’ve also ordered a WooLee Winder for my Little Gem. Hopefully it comes this week – the anticipation is killing me!

oooh…very jealous indeed! I was just sitting here contemplating the Turkish Cast on Method thinking…if only I had ordered those Harmony needles already…I would have the other perfect size to not have to make due. I don’t think I will have the will power to deny myself those lovelies! So much for easing up on yarn related expenditures…this always happens! (sigh)
Yet again I live up to my title

Well, I’m just jealous all around. Fabulous haul!
I’m toying with buying the needle set. Are the circs smooth at the join?
They are lovely Jessie – I’ve had the metal ones since they came out and love them. I had an issue with one of the cables and KnitPicks replaced it right away.
These are very nice to work with – a bit sticky because of the coating, but that can be good depending on what you’re working with. I also expect that to wear off with time and use.
Love Love Love Knitpicks needles – I have never ever been disappointed.
I want to borrow your needles. You’ll get them back when I have finished all the socks I am making now.
What a fab set. I am not jealous, not at all…….ah, I want them
