Once again I jumped the gun a little bit. I went over to Michaels craft store with my 40% coupon in hand. I was determined to buy myself some knitting needles, because you KNOW you can’t start knitting without some needles! When I got into the store I realized that there were about 100 different styles, sizes, etc. of needles and I didn’t have any idea which ones I should buy since I haven’t even picked a project to start on yet. I talked to a clerk to ask her opinion and she saved the day.
The clerk led me to the Boye Needlemaster Kit 200 and I was immediately in love. I’ve always loved little sets and these interchangeable knitting needles seemed amazing to me. Here are the product features:
* Can make circular needles, flexible straight needles and stitch holders
* Includes interchangeable aluminum needles of sizes 2 – 15
* Separate cables in lengths of 20”,24”,29” & 36”
* Includes stitch markers and a black zippered case to hold needles
I figured if I got this kit I wouldn’t have to buy new needles for each project I work on. The set was regularly $45 but I had a 40% off coupon so I figured I did pretty well. However, when I got home and called my mom, she told me that for my first projects I would have a much easier time using some very large, straight needles. How sad. My new kit is an easy knitting failure. But I am going to borrow the large needles from my mom tomorrow. I’ll post about them when I get them!
