This was fun to knit and a good project to practice knitting backwards on. I did mine in Panther colors. See it on my ravelry project page.

Rosewood Needles by Pony

We are always trying to find new and better products to offer in the Crazy Girl Shops. We recently demo'd these Rosewood needles by Pony. My take is this...I love that they are super pointy. In fact, they could be dangerous in the wrong hands; but for knitting in tight little stitches, they are great. If you have yarn that tends to split easily, though, the pointy tips might present a problem. The needles are also very flexible. For me that's a negative. I don't like the needles to bend in my hand as I'm trying to force it into a stitch. For one it makes me feel like they are going to break and makes it hard to force the needle where I want it to go. But for folks that don't like stiff needles, these could be a winner. They are very smooth also. If it weren't for the bending thing I would use them.

In the beginning...

...there was white space. Lots of it! I've been encouraged by those I hold dear to start a Crazy Girl Yarn Shop blog - after all, they say, all the other cool shops have one (or three in the case of the overzealous Threadbare folks of whom I am majorly envious). And so here we are with nothing but pages and pages of white space to fill up with whitty, clever, insiteful, enthusiastic, or, at the very least, informational tidbits. It's a tall order and I'll admit, I'm a little intimidated; my education did not prepare me for this. However, forward we charge into the white space, needles brandished. All suggestions for future blog topics highly encouraged and appreciated.
