DreamWeaver has the Kollage square metal straight AND circular needles. Buy them in sets or separately and be amazed by these easy on your hands knitting needles. Ergonomics is the name of the game with this product. I use the circular needles often and have really enjoyed the look, feel and ease of these needles. The Kollage site offers information (including gauge suggestions)and a full description for you on these amazing needles and I advise you to visit Way to go Kollage!

CLASP THAT KNIT IN STYLE!

Knitting holiday neckwear and need a handy clasp? MagKnit has just that perfect item for you that will help you give a finished look to your knitted scarves and neckwear. It's also an elegant clasp for any beadwork - hooray! DreamWeaver also has them available along with patterns. There are several options to choose from to make your neckwear unique. Just another cool item I saw at Stitches East. ;)

Hope you all are navigating through the holiday season smoothly and making some relaxing knit and crochet time. It's a tough balancing act for sure so be kind to yourself. I've been pretty turbo for the past few weeks too. Knitters need plenty of excercise, good food, and a healthy knit attitude.

Now back to your regularly scheduled knitting!
