Wow, I know where to come to get knitting needles if I even need some. :) I have one plastic bin with knitting needles and crochet hooks. What kind of needles do you like to knit with? Nancy Bush of Woolly Woolly West got me hooked on wood. Apparently there is a new type of circular knitting needle out that is metal, but knits like a dream. Have you used those type of needles?

I have a basket full of embroidery floss also. It is Anchor and DMC. And another basket of specialty threads.

Here is the belt I learned to make last night. It only took me an hour to do the first row. :( It's the first time I've done the basket stitch and in suede to boot. The teacher was a bit nervous. I tend to do that until I pick up the stitch.

Most of the time I use Inox or Skacel metal needles...I find that the wooden needles don't slide as much, and with my knitting style, that slows me down. Also, I always break the smaller ones!

I have an assortment of circulars...Inox and skacel, old nylon ones and a few others.

But if the needle will do the job, I'm not totally a needle snob. I have a lot of Boye needles as well, especially on my single pointed needles.

I also like the Swallow casien needles.

Lovely belt, it really does look woven.

HHmmm, you make me think of a fake 'woven' handle for a broken basket I have. ;-)

Thanks!
