Interchangeable Needles

I was up early this morning and picked up more tosh before coming to work. One more trip and I will have everything we need for right now. There are very extensive lists of what will be in storage so that I can send my dad to pick up yarn. Every box is numbered so it should be easy. My one fear is that he is going to start consolidating boxes without telling me. Then there will be problems.

There is one other problem. The spread sheet is finished and there are colours that I am out of and haven't ordered. Another order will be placed with madelinetosh this week.

We have some new interchangeable needle sets from Knitter's Pride.

There is now a set of 40cm (16") interchangeable needles. The tips are 8.5cm (3.25") long and are compatible with all Knitter's Pride interchangeable sets. The case comes with sizes 3.5mm-6mm.


Cubics Interchangeable Needles-square needles. From the Knitter's Pride website-
  • -Thoughtfully packaged set includes needles in the 7 most useful sizes plus cords in a variety of length
  • -The cuboid shape in square cross-section gradually gives way to perfectly tapered birch wood needle points
  • -Elegant densified laminated Symfonie Rose wood is rich in appearance, yet lightweight, strong & flexible
  • -Unique ergonomic shape provides comfort to the hand and yields uniform stitch formation

  • -Perfect for beginners too – provide easy grip and control over your knitting
  • -Easy to connect cord with a smooth join that enables easy stitch glide and no snagging
  • -Resilient, flexible cords lay flat, with no kink or twist – easy to store

  • -The knitter's favorite needle: Providing hours of pleasurable knitting with no hand fatigue
The set comes with needles 4mm, 4.5mm 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm and 8mm.

If you need to make a baby blanket, there are two new patterns from Sirdar along with new colours of Crofter DK and Tiny Tots.

Way too cute.

I don't know how I am going to get those balls of yarn knit before bed tonight. There hasn't been much knitting today but that is going to change. It's TV time. Alcatraz (last week's and this week's episodes) and two episodes of Top Chef Texas. Lucky for me my dad brought the remaining tosh to the store this afternoon. I get to sleep in tomorrow.
