Here's a fun and useful addition to your knitting bag: a Kitchener Stitch cheat sheet in the form of a dog tag. I realize that many of you already have our Little Knitting Book and regularly use it for your Kitchener stitch helper. I, however, was in the Army (and Navy) and thought the dog tag was a clever solution to a problem I hear about from you all the time. Cute, isn't it? The knitting obsessed could even wear it as jewely that makes a statement!

And, here's a whole slew of notions that came in yesterday. New point protectors. Some, that double as reminders. Put the green point protector on the end of the needle where you will begin knitting and the red one on the other needle that the stitches are working towards. If you've ever turned around and gone the wrong direction in the middle of a row, you'll find value in these! Also, new novelty tape measures - these are just a sampling, the little square-ish things are lights that clip on and emit a powerful beam. One customer noted that she would put them on her dog's collar when they went for a walk in the dark!

 

This little box holds an afternoon's worth of fun! It is a dye kit that includes a skein of sock yarn and enough yarn to dye 1 pound of yarn (that's five skeins of yarn). Everything you need is included - even the rubber gloves. Have fun and make your own unique yarn following the instructions provided.

I thought we could all use a reminder that it isn't always 90 degrees with 150% humidity. These are socks that Christel knit with her handspun last winter. Sweet, aren't they?
