Nickel Plated Knitting Needles
Did you know that Nickel Plated Knitting Needles are the best needles for our Faroe Islands wool?
The great thing about the nickel plated needles is that the oil from the lanolin doesn't build up like it will on other needles. So, your needles glide and slide so smoothly all the way through each and every project!
Here's a small article for you to refer to!

That darn Hurley!
Our Great Pyrenees, Hurley, ran off again today! 3rd time in 3 days! Just installed invisible fence and it really has him scared so we are taking the slow and cautious training route. Until then it's leash and tether.

Janie
Our fourth and final baby will be one year old July 6th! Hard to believe. It's time I start working on a fall sweater and hat.
Janie was our surprise and we've finally figured out the cause and our doctor has "fixed" the problem.
Janie has already had hip dysplasia, eye surgery, reflux but is coming out of the woods. It's really got in the way of my knitting but she's so worth it!
Steve and Knitting
Melissa is the knitter. I am the business guy. I'm finally learning to knit and after an early struggle I am starting to get it. What shocks me is how much I enjoy it! I mean, it's easy to see the addictive properties of knitting. I think I'll be in charge of sample swatches!
