Dowels for knitting needles

It is sad to say but by supplier for dowels is not making dowels for medical health  reasons. Dowels on demand has made the best exotic dowels for me for 3 years now.


So I have been hunting for a new supplier. I found this site
http://www.americanwoodcrafterssupply.com/wooden-products/dowels.htm#Dowels

and they have cool knobs for the ends

good price.
I will tell you how I like the needles

Here is a chart for sizing needles

This year I am ordering 1/4 in needles for the 1st grade

Fountain pens

It's important to have a good fountain pen. The Main Lesson books needs that extra time with good penmanship to really become a piece of artwork.

4th grade cross stitch

Do you see how stiff the Aida cloth is? it's all starched....I buy it that way and it's much easier to use. its 6 count cloth....hard to find!!!!!!!!

During the winter break I received my shipment of DMC 3 embroidery thread for our cross stitch pouch project.
I have allowed the boys to think of the project as an IPOD pouch because they don't want a "purse"
