NEED A STIX FIX? TIRED OF KNOTS & TANGLES?

Knit Simple(Fall 2008)
This magazine is one of my favorites and is always fun to read. The fall issue has featured a few products you might enjoy...here are a couple of them.

knottygirlsknit has a product for all those tired, worn out, but loveable bamboo needles, called Stix Fix. The kit comes with beeswax filler, sandpaper and a buffing cloth. Happy bamboo needles, means a happy knitter!

Sock knitters will want to check out Flat Feet, two panels of hand-painted merino/nylon - enough for one pair of socks which unravels as you knit and eliminates tangles and knots. YEAH! If this intrigues you, visit conjoinedcreations for the full scoop.

Ready for a colorful fall?
