Fast, Fun Knitting
Today is Fun Friday...
As mentioned in our Monday issue, we recently started using Speed Stix and love them. For those of you who aren't familiar with Speed Stix, they're size 50 knitting needles. Talk about fast! You can zip through project after project with these babies. I absolutely love them! Can you tell? One issue just wasn't enough to rave about these needles!
What have I been knitting? Scarves of course. I made several as super quick last minute Christmas gifts. They turned out beautifully. Now, I'm working on a top for myself from the book you'll see in Today's Featured Product - it won't take long and then I'll move on to the next project. Yes, intricate knitting projects are gorgeous, but just for a quick little break, I thought I would give Speed Stix a try and I'm so glad I did. Join me!
