There is always Christmas

I know, I know.
I already have a set of interchangeables.
They work great.
There are nine sizes of needle tips.
I definitely don't need anymore needles.
Right?

They came with four cables in two different sizes.
They came with a case.
They were cheap.
Definitely don't need any other needles.
Right?

But Christmas IS coming.
Christmas gifts are all about what you want.
Right?

And I WANT these:

WEBS interchangeable needle set.

Basic features:

• 9 sets of hard bamboo needle tips
• 12 cables in 3 different lengths (16", 24", & 32") and two different diameters (thick and thin)
• 2 adaptors (thick and thin) that can be used to connect the cables for lengths up to 64"
• 4 knobs/end caps in case you want to use the same needle size for another project
• Needle gauge with cutter
• And one really delicious looking silk needle case

*drooling*


The advantages over my current set of KP interchangables are:

• A really pretty silk case
• cables that you can connect to each other, yeAH!
• Bamboo needle tips. I don't like the multicolored KP harmony tips, I'm a plain old boring bamboo girl.
• The pretty silk case
• The sizes are printed on the needle tips. I continually get confused with my unlabeled nickel plated KP tips

The disadvantages:

• Tips aren't as pointy
• more expensive

Ok so clearly the case is a major reason why I like this set. Just wave something pretty in my face and I'll snatch it up. But seriously, the set has some great features.

I haven't been able to find a review from an official source yet, but there are a couple positive customer reviews on the product page. And the ladies from the All things WEBS group on ravelry have said good things about this set.

The Harvest of Zen Swap: the teaser

I just finished up the fall swap with my yoga swap group.

This swap was a bit different. We did a round robin this time, so instead of having one partner we had two. One that would send us a package and one that we would send a package to. We also sent two packages this time. One smaller, teaser package at the end of September and then a larger package at the end of October.

I sent knitsandbricks this for her teaser package:

The journal and red bag are handmade. The basket represents 'Harvest' and the red bag holds a candle representing 'Zen'

I really like how the journal turned out. The brown diamond fabric worked well and the red end papers add an element of surprise.

This is what I got from heatherdox:

A really great project bag, measuring tape, and leather organizer things. I love the birds printed on the project bag.

Calendula revised A.K.A Marni is estupido

Today I realized that I mis-numbered the October calendar. Of course there is only one day of the month left.
I know countless readers are collecting my calendars each month, so for anyone who is interested here are the revised calendars:

Finally finished the October calendar. I got a late start on this and then I lost the file I was working on! So I had to start over. Apologies for the lateness.
