Needles, oh so many

The long-awaited huge needle shipment has arrived (at least a good portion of it), and there are lots of Addi Turbo circulars to choose from. There are also new Addi Natura circulars, which are bamboo. The blogmistress says:

"I have tested the Naturas and find them incredibly smooth and with no irritating tendency to form loops in the cable. I hardly notice them, which is a compliment for a knitting needle. They don't click when I knit, stick in any way, make it difficult to form any stitch, or drive me crazy when I try to do a magic loop (I got 40-inchers in my three favorite sizes). If you are a fan of bamboo needles, give these a try!"

We will have samples of the felted Christmas ornaments for the class in October available to look at by about 3 pm today, and by Saturday, a sample of the top-down toddler sweater we will make in the upcoming "My First Sweater" class!

Lots and lots and lots of new fall yarn keeps coming in, too. Some of it is just "to die for" -- like the "Touch Me" chenille. MMMMM, soft.
