Get 'em while you can!

Needle cases by my father in law. $25 to me and I'll send you one right out - this includes regular first class postage in the U.S., international stuff I'll add shipping to it.

The light one, in Lilac, is spoken for (click to read the labels):


He's calling these his "American Hardwood" series, except for the laminated two on the left. I can vouch for how lovely they are -- I use my olivewood one, made for my Italian heritage, all the time.

So let me know. I'm also hoping our local yarn shop will carry them in the future. For now, it's a readingwhileknitting exclusive.

  4. Those are beautiful! I wish you the best getting them placed with your LYS; at least 2 of the LYSes here in Austin sell needle case/keyrings like those made by a local artisan and they seem to sell pretty well!

  5. Oh, if it's not gone, I MUST have the Shiro Plum. Just a little bit of home to carry with me!

  6. This is Turtlegirl's fault, but ... My first choice is the Pecan Heartwood burl, but that appears to be spoken for :-( My favorite shape is Cristi's Lilac, so if it's still up for grabs I'd like to request the Maple burl? Email is dputiger93-at-yahoo. I can paypal!

  9. Nope, it's spoken for, two comments up! I still have (I think) the Cherry and the laminated one. But -- I have a promise of a dozen more.

  10. The simpler shape of the lilac and light woods of the lilac and maple were my favs. Please feel free to email me when you have more - I would love to buy one. sarah_sturtevant@hotmail.com

    Please tell your father in law my dad turns spindles, and I really appreciate the work that went into the needle cases. :)

  13. Hello, I just read about these on turtlegirl's blog. Do you have anymore available? If not in the near future? Do we just look on your blog for additional ones?

  14. hey--turtlegirl is advertising for you. i'd like to say: i LOVE the three on the left. actually they are all really gorgeous. i'm thinking if these go into production, you could get featured in knitty's "cool stuff" section. it's just that sort of thing.
