Chibis – so what’s your favorite? Do you like the straight needles or the ones with the little bend in the end? Yellow case or do you prefer the blue or green? I know I have a couple different ones and they are wonderful for having your needles right where you need them when it’s time to sew that gorgeous piece of knitting together. A must have for every knitting bag.
And Groucho says “elves”
Soak is biodegradable and non-toxic – what could be better to wash that lovely hand-knit in? This is a great product and it’s Canadian! For all kinds of information about it check out their website at http://www.soakwash.com/Default.aspx
And to save your 15% on any size soak the secret word is “NOEL”
So how do you keep track of your rows? A pad of paper and a pencil or do you keep counting the rows? Well, we have a variety of row counters to help. We have a row counter that slides right onto the needle or hangs like a stitch marker or we have little click ones that you can set on the table beside you or hang around your neck. Whats your favorite way?
And Groucho says”SNOWSUIT”
What would a knitting bag be without a tape measure? Pretty or fun or just practical. Ya gotta have one! We have larger ones with Victoria & Albert prints or whimsical ones with dots or stripes or animals or…(and don’t tell anyone but the secret word is HOLLY).
And as soon as I get organized I will tell you about my fabulous weekend at the Knitters Review Retreat in Williamstown, MA. We had a wonderful time and in the meantime go and check out Anne Hanson’s blog at http://knitspot.com/ and go down to November 23rd.
Well, Cindy-Lou the secret word today is “WHOVILLE” and today we are going to introduce you to a little piece of magic. Yarn Guides – These nifty little gadgets sit on the knitter’s finger and help to keep yarns organized when doing colour work such as Fair Isle or Double knitting. SWK carries them in three styles.
So are you on the edge of your seat? Wondering what we’re going to start our week with? Well, today if you say the secret word (yup – according to the rules posted on November 17th) “COAL” – you won’t be getting coal in your stocking but saving 15% on a beautiful Needle Gauge.
At SWK we are excited to have the Debra’s Garden (with metric sizing?) gauges, available in two sizes, one made especially for sock knitters. Pretty enough to wear as a necklace, or easily attached to your key chain or project bag with an optional split ring. Lots of colours to choose from, too.
GLOW LINE TAPE – Seriously. Highlighter that moves! Really the best way to follow a chart or to keep your place when following written instructions. Hide it from your kids and spouse. Everybody will want it when they see how handy it is!

Today we are thrilled to introduce you to Paisley Spots! Exclusive to Shall We Knit?, Paisley Spots stitch markers come in two styles. Both beautiful and practical, the beaded ring markers come in an assortment of colours. Paisley Spots also offers a letter bead style for those Cat bordhi fans.
The secret word today (and don’t forget the rules from November 17th) is “LEG LAMP” – questions about that? Ask Lynne.
Todays secret word is “EGGNOG”
We have a Tappet (or Latch) tool that is the handiest tool ever for picking up a dropped stitch or dropping down to repair a stitch gone wrong or a split stitch. It can also be used to darn in your ends.
All day long as we’ve been working on which items are on which day and what the secret word of the day is – I’ve had this voice in my head. Groucho Marx in your head is not necessarily a normal thing but it does put a smile on your face.
The first item on the Shall We Knit? Christmas list is the Clover Stitch Markers. These locking stitch markers look like itty bitty diaper pins, and come in two sizes. They also do double duty as stitch holders when you just need a few stitches held. We are also including a selection of plastic ring style stitch markers today.
And the secret word today is “SNOWMAN”. And don’t forget the rules from Tuesday, November 17th.
