The new Flight of Stitch Markers from Cocoknits should be here by the end of the month. I can't wait. These will be perfect for your knitting bag! They are seriously cute.

For anyone who’s not sure which style of Cocoknits stitch marker to try first, here’s a handy sampling. Just like a wine or craft beer tasting 'flight', our Flight of Stitch Markers offers a wide variety of styles and sizes to experiment with!

Addi FlexiFlips XL - longer and bigger sizes. These could be here by the end of the week.

Fans of our original FlexiFlips can rejoice, as everyone’s favorite flexible double points are now available in a longer and larger option.  Cast-on to an effortless new method of knitting socks, cuffs, hats, and many of other projects which are worked in the round, with the addi® FlexiFlips XL. Developed by "CraSy" Sylvie Rasch in collaboration with addi® and made specifically for North America, these specially designed 26cm circulars (4.25" tips with 1.6" cord) rest comfortably in the hand, and act as flexible double pointed needles. Easy to use, stitches are simply distributed over two needles, and then knit with the third - resulting in only two needle changes per row. 

Featuring the same dual-tip design as the popular addi® FlipStix, the FlexiFlips XL feature both an addi® Rocket tip and an addi Turbo® tip. You will always have the right needle, when you need it. Overly versatile, FlexiFlips XL also make great cable needles.  Patent Pending.

These are available in sizes 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 8mm.

Are you looking for an easy sweater to whip up for fall? Take a look at Flax from tincanknits. The pattern is free on Ravelry.

The pattern has 17 sizes from small children to large adults.

This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. You cast on at the collar, the yoke is knit, sleeve stitches are placed on hold on waste yarn, the body is completed, then sleeves are knit last. 

It is knit in worsted weight yarn and we have many options.

It's time for a new project. I'm getting on a plane Saturday night and I don't want to take Newleaf with me. There are so many stitches on holders and needles hanging everywhere. I'll show you what I'm making in a few days when you can see how the colours are working up.
