The eggplant Zumas have arrived.  I have three available.  Don't delay, when these are gone I can't get any more.
 
 
Another surprise.  When the buddy cases come back into stock later this month there will be eggplant buddy cases in the shipment.

Circular Needles
 
Many of you knit with circular needles and the most common complaint is about the cord.  If you are using metal needles (Addi, Aero or Inox) drop them into a bowl of boiling water.  Let them sit for a minute and the cord will be straight.  If you are using wooden needles, just hold the cord in the boiling water-not the needles.
