Knitting Boards - Knit without needles!
Knit with ease on a knitting board
The process of knitting on knitting boards was originated in the 1500's in the mountain villages of Europe. The technique was passed down through the families, generation to generation. However, when the knitting machine was introduced, knitting boards all but disappeared.Today, Kim and Pat, a mother/daughter team at The Knitting Board Company, have brought the technique back to a new generation of knitters.
This fun and unique method of knitting also makes it possible for someone who has lost the use of an arm, to continue the craft. The board can easily be bolted down to a surface and used one-handed.
Knitting Boards are available in kits, in different lengths and with DVD instruction.
Give it a try - you might like it!
Alpaca Yarns - Hypoallergenic & Water Repellant
Alpaca is one of the finest fibers in the world.
Do you know what makes Alpaca fiber special (and perfect for your knitted garments)?~ Fiber Diameter - an Alpaca's fiber ranges from between 15 to 30 microns - one of the finest in the world.
~ Hypoallergenic - Many people are sensitive to the lanolin in a sheep's wool. This is not present in Alpaca. Also, dyes are generally not necessary, as Alpaca comes in 22 natural colors.
~ Water Repellant - An Alpaca's coat has adapted to it's harsh environment with a water repellancy. This feature carries over to garments made with Alpaca fiber. Also, the smell often associated with "wet sheep" is not present in Alpaca.
~ Warm - Again, because of their mountain lifestyle, Alpacas have developed fiber that will keep them warm. Each shaft of hair is hollow, creating extra insulative air pockets. Alpaca fiber is said to be 8 times warmer than sheep's wool.
~ Soft - Finished Alpaca garments are much softer to the touch than sheep's wool garments. The prickle of wool is not present in Alpaca fiber. A sheep's wool has little barbs down the shaft of each hair, whereas an Alpaca hair is smooth down the shaft.
If you are ready to give this fiber a try, visit Alice in Stitches for Maggi's Knits Brushed Alpaca.
Knit it - then Felt it!
Give felting a try with these fun and creative kits
We've just discovered a fun new company called "Pick Up Sticks". They sell kits and patterns for knitting and felting.How about a sushi wallet kit, packaged in a sushi tray? The kits are creative and perfect for gift giving. Maybe you'd prefer felting a daffodil ~ it's packaged like a garden bulb.
If hats, pillows and purses are more your style, we've got those, too. These cute kits come creatively packaged and ready for gift giving. Come and check them out at Alice in Stitches - Felting kits.
Thanks for visiting!

Knit for the Cure
Products donating a percent of their sales to Breast Cancer Research
We're always on the lookout for products that donate a portion of their proceeds to charity. We have found two companies in the knitting community that are helping to support Breast Cancer Research.The first is the Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needle Company, who has a complete knitting needle set in pink, along with it's accessories. The owner of the company struggled herself with this disease, has overcome and moved on to help others. The Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles sets are packaged in travel box - complete with 10 needle sizes, 6 circular cords, extenders and end buttons.
The next is the Lantern Moon Company, a family run company creating totes and knitting needles in Vietnam. They have a Tote for the Cure bag that is black on the outside with a pink and black checked interior. Just the thing to tote around all your supplies.
