Well, unless you've been hiding out under a rock this last week, you have probably heard that Kate and William have had a girl - Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

This is great timing, as we just got in a swath of perfect baby princess patterns from Jane Richmond:

Manda Ruth	Amelia
Elsie Sundress	Elsie Cardigan

Manda Ruth would be regal in Swans Island Worsted

Amelia would be lovely in Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Hand Dyes

Elsie Sundress would be perfect in Sweet Georgia Superwash Worsted

Elsie Cardigan would turn out great in any of the DK weight Madelinetosh yarns

This officially falls into the "things I never knew existed but now that I know that they exist, I don't know how I ever got by without them" list. It's a much longer list than you might expect.

These Needle Keepers keep you from A) losing stitches off your circular needles and B) stabbing yourself or your bag. It's tough to tell from the photo, but when storing your project, the tips of your circulars poke through the black cap, so the body of the needle is contained in the metal sheath. Et voila, stitches are secure and needle tips are safe.
