 Addi "Turbo" Circulars

       Addi Circular

I'm not normally fond of metal needles, and have been increasingly replacing my metal straights with bamboo, birch, or rosewood straights.

However, these circular needles live up to their advertising - knitting with them is very smooth and quick.  I never would have thought I'd find myself recommending these needles, but they're worth the price.

 A wonderful yarn

       New Tweed
This is a wonderful yarn to work with.  It has great yardage and the finished garment is sporty and looks more wooly than it feels.  The yarn instead has a soft hand.  It slides along your needle smoothly and does not split if you have to pick up a dropped stitch.  In addition, it does not pill.  Stitch definition I would say is average...not crisp because of the varigation in the yarn, but not fuzzy either.  All and all, a delight to work with, and I this yarn will not be discontinued.

       Dyed Organic Cotton
This is the most gorgeous yarn - it is the softest cotton I have ever felt, and the colors are beautiful. Even better- it is organically grown! I will be buying more of this one!

       Panda Cotton
I ordered the Panda Cotton to make some children's socks and am pleasantly surprised at how well it knits up. It has some elastic in it, so you have to be careful with the tension when knitting. The colors I ordered were just like what shows in the pictures on the website. The Strawberries and Limes colorway is very bright and cheerful, and the Picnic colorway is very pretty and perfect for little girl's socks. That was nice.  It's so hard to tell sometimes what you're going to get ordering online, but this website seems to have very accurate pictures of the yarn!!!  Will order more!!

 Infatuation

       Felted Tweed

I have a project that requires 30 skeins of this yarn. Before making that kind of investment, I knew I'd have to love the yarn, considering that I'd be spending weeks, if not months, intimately interacting with it. So, I ordered a couple of colors and took it out on a first date.

It reminded me of my husband. We went out on our first date, and 20 years later never looked back.

I'm picky about yarn. It has to feel really good in my hands (clearly I'm not a flax fan). It has to behave nicely on my needles, bamboo and metal. No reticence, no arguing, I want cooperation. It has to hang around long enough to be rescued if I drop a stitch.

Rowan Felted Tweed passed every test. I can't stop swatching the thing, because my fingers (and brain) suffer from separation anxiety when I put the needles down. The material produced is lovely and soft, but with nice body.

I have many unfinished projects on needles, and at this point in time, they are going to have to stay unfinished a while longer. I have a new love.

And, as an added bonus, the folks at Jimmy Beans Wool are wonderful to work with!

       Pick Up Sticks Kits

OK.  I wrote the last review a couple of days ago, and at the same time, I wrote to Pick Up Sticks for advice.

They wrote back to me right away, indicating which step I might have skipped in the pattern to cause the problem.

Last night, I tried the Lily again, and it came out perfect.  It wasn't a step I skipped last time, it was a fundamental mistake I made while making the flower.  I knitted it while talking with friends, and I was a complete idiot, I guess, because I only decreased on one side when you're supposed to decrease on both.

So, I'm sorry Pick Up Sticks, for wronging you!  The lily looks beautiful, although again, they don't felt too well.  I hand felted it last night, and now I think it might have to go through a couple of washes, and then maybe another hand felt.  It's just so small, it's hard to get every bit felted.

But, they are beautiful, and fun to knit!

Whenever I visit my LYS, I can't help but go visit this yarn at least twice during my visit.  I just touch it and dream about what I might knit with it.  It is SO soft and the colors are fabulous.  Go ahead and get some; you'll enjoy it!

Not only is the pattern beautiful, but it is well written.  I made this for a friend who was having a beach wedding, and she adored it.  I have already bought the yarn to make one for myself!

 Soft and Luscious

I used 1 hank to make a baby hat and then 1 hank to make a pair of booties and the entire project only took me about 3 hours! This yarn is so soft and cuddly - and the colors are as gorgeous as all of the Lorna's Laces colors - you can't go wrong here.

 The Cutest Thing I've Ever Knit!

       Blue Sky Alpacas Patterns
This is sweetest & simple project. I made it for a pregnant girlfriend in organic cotton & did not want to let it go (I did anyway!). It was simple to knit but ends up in the "family heirloom" catagory. I wonderful gift for a baby shower or make it larger for an adult "kid". Highly recommended!
