Bergere de France has advertised this beautiful Fringed Coat in the newest issue of Vogue, Holiday 2009. This pattern is now in stock and available for immediate shipment. The pattern has been added to our Needles & Knobs on line shopping cart.

TURNING 3!!!!!

Well...yesterday was our 3rd birthday! What an exciting week. The website (www.needlesandknobs.com) has been completely reworked! And WOW does it ever look good thanks to Eliot's hard work and really long hours! It has lists of all of the companies that we deal with, pictures of all kinds of neat projects and links to the shopping cart.

Speaking of the shopping cart, it is working like a champ! I've been loading all kinds of neat things from Century Hardware, Hot Knobs and MKC Architectural to Clover Takumi Velvet Circulars in all lengths and Indulgence by Prism.

Remember, even if we don't have it in the store, we can usually order it in for you! We are ordering from Malabrigo, Dream in Color, Lorna's Laces, Alpaca With A Twist, Alpaca Yarn Company, Prism and many, many more! It's hard to have everybody's favorite color so come by and pick out what you'd like!

And keep your eyes peeled...we'll be having some special events in the next few weeks to celebrate our 3rd birthday!

I am happy to announce that Prisms' Merino Mia Athena Wrap and Technicolor Jacket is available for sale! Both patterns and kits are available at our shopping cart. It is a tremendous use of color and an absolutely stunning piece when completed.

Hot Knobs and Century Hardware added to shopping cart!

Well...for those of you that check the website, you will know that we've finally gotten the on-line shopping cart working properly! Payment methods are PayPal Express or PayPal. This makes it secure. We allow orders from the US, Canada, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. I have included some Plymouth, Malabrigo, Prism Stuff and Impressions, Saki, Merino Mia and Lace Wool and Tilli Tomas' Beaded Lace and Voile de la Mer. I am also happy to say that I have started to include some cabinet hardware. You will find some of the most unique glass square knobs and pulls from Hot Knobs. They are handcrafted in the USA. The colors are wonderful and they sure would add a much needed boost to any kitchen decor. There is also some beautiful new pieces from Century hardware. Watch for new hardware additions.

Please remember...if there is a yarn that you want and you don't find it on the shopping cart, please call Needles & Knobs (727) 345-5662. If I have the yarn in the store, I can load it for you so that you can purchase it on line or if I don't have it, I'm happy to special order your favorite color.

All cabinet hardware is special order so please be patient.

Finally!!! A Summer Workshop schedule...

I am happy to say that after a week or so of work, the workshop schedule is finally ready. We will have four (4) workshops. They are each on a Tuesday night from 7-9PM. We will be using Cascade's Fixation, Prism's Merino Mia and Lace Wool, Tilli Tomas' Beaded Lace or Voile de la Mer and Rowan's Calmer. I've knitted with all of these and there is not a bad one in the bunch. I just finished the Entrelac Washcloth sampler with the Rowan Calmer...yummy! Now...let's talk about the Mystique Shawl by Tilli Tomas! It's really very luxurios. It's simple and beautiful. The pattern is free with the purchase of the yarn.
