Interweave Knits brings you cabled sweaters, slippers, scarves, mittens and Cables 101 in their Winter 2011 edition just out. Knit Wear from Interweave Press has a luscious cabled capelet and cable trimmed jackets. Vogue Knitting's Fall, Holiday and Winter issues all feature cables on the cover and inside, too! The difficult decision is choosing which cabled pattern to knit first. Come on in and we'll help you decide … and find just the right yarn to knit your favorite cabled project this winter.

DREAMZ & CUBICS NEEDLES

We are excited to add Knitter's Pride needles to our selection of fine knitting needles. We are carrying Symphonie Dreamz, the color-coded needles made from Vermont's strong birchwood, and the cuboid-shaped Cubics. The Symfonie Dreamz have unique colors for each needle size so that it's simple to find the right sized needle at a glance. The Cubics square shapeliness offers a grip that has been well received by knitters, especially those with arthritis. If we are missing a size or style of Knitter's Pride needles, we will be happy to order them in for you.
