I bought Caroline a gift as she has been getting more and more interested in knitting and I’m getting tired of running her to the craft store 10 minutes before closing so she can get the new size of “Bamboo” needle she requires. Over at Arizona Knitting & Needlepoint, a friendly sales girl explained why bamboo wasn’t the best choice for knitting here in Arizona – the bamboo dries and frays, and then proceeded to show me the knitting kit from Denise. Turns out this is convenient for traveling, is cheaper than buying a complete set of needles made of hardwood or bamboo, and makes some tricks possible by attaching different needle sizes to the cable – I can’t tell you more about this as I am not a knitter, but this is supposed to be very cool to those in the know.
