Knitting Needles

While cleaning out my sewing room and other parts of the house I found so many knitting needles. SO MANY!!! It is going to take a long time to put them all in order because there are so many. 

I even found a full set of Knitter’s Pride needles that was never opened. The box is still wrapped in plastic. This is the J’Adore set from a few years ago.

Crafted in a beautiful shade of lavender colored wood, this set of cubic needles is as beneficial as it is beautiful. The ergonomic shape was designed to be comfortable in the knitter’s hand as well as pleasing to the eye. The set comes with a luxuriously soft velvet bag that will protect the needles and keep them neatly stored along with a variety of useful accessories. 

Set Contents:

Cubics Interchangeable Needle Sizes US 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 (4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm. 6mm and 8mm) in Blooming Lavender colour with matt gold connectors. Needle sizes are laser printed on the metal connectors. 

Accessories:

  • 3 memory-free stainless-steel cords in length of 24"/60, 32"/ 80cm & 40"/ 100cm.
  • 4 end caps;
  • 2 cord keys;
  • One set of cord connectors
  • 20 amour metal stitch markers.

All the above items are packed in a plush velvet case that makes the set a delight for gifting purposes.


We’re going to have a draw for the set. I don’t need another set of needles. I want them but I think that someone else will put them to better use.

How can you win the needle set?

  1. Leave a comment on this post with your first name and last initial, your hometown and your Ravelry name and/or Instagram name. If we don’t have your name we can’t contact you if you win. 
  2. Comments are moderated. They won’t show up until I add them to the post.
  3. One comment per person please
  4. No substitution.
  5. We will contact you right after the draw. The winner’s name will also be in a blog post the day after the draw. The winner will have 2 weeks to claim the prize. If it isn’t claimed in that time we will redraw.
  6. We will ship the needles anywhere in Canada or the US if you win.
On Friday July 26th Tuesday July 30th at noon EST we will do a random draw (picking one name) to see who wins the needles.

Where do I leave the comment? Look at the bottom of the post.

It will say No Comments or 10 Comments or 30 Comments. Click on that and you can leave your information to try and win the bag of yarn.

Good Luck!
Don’t forget that Stephen West’s Surprise Sock Along started today. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Thanks for the opportunity Julie.
I have never owned a set of interchangeables , and the fact that they're purple is just the icing on the cake. 😉

Anonymous said...

Hi Julie! Thank you for the blog posts. I always enjoy when you match yarn with patterns. I often learn about new patterns that are out from your posts.
Thank you also for the opportunity to win the Knitter’s Pride J’Adore interchangeable set. I’ve never had interchangeables and have always been curious. Mostly though, I love that they are purple and wood. After knitting for years with metal needles hoping they would make me a faster knitter, I’ve finally figured out that I control my tension better with wood needles and am a more consistent knitter as a result.

Knitter's Pride is an amazing company. I have had the privilege to tour their factory in Jaipur's economic development zone. They hire any woman who comes to them looking for a job and provide training. They run buses to the outlying communities to bring the women safely to and from work, and provide the men with bicycles if they need one. The company provides wholesome meals for their employees. They mechanize as little as possible so that they can have more jobs for people. They also provide classes in learning to read, basic accounting and how to use computers (there's probably more that I'm not remembering). It was a wonderful experience and I will support them with future purchases (needles or other accessories!).
