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!
