We are really excited about the new site - not only because of our newer, cleaner look, but because we can now offer things to both our USA and international customers that we never could before.

Here are some highlights of our new website:

  • International Shipping: We can now ship our yarn and kits internationally!
  • International Shipping charges known at checkout: International shipping is now calculated immediately at checkout.
  • Streamlined Navigation: Drill down navigation of our patterns makes the design you are looking for much easier to find.
  • We've got a Blog!  Sure the trend has moved to microblogging services like Facebook and Twitter, but when we have something a little more detailed to tell you about, we've now got a blog and we'd love to hear your feedback in the comments.

Is this George Lucas knitting?

 

Wouldn't it be grand if the knitting forces were actually with him?  This image was found via this thread on Reddit.  

 

Even if this is a look-alike, how wonderful to see such a manly man doing his morning knitting at Starbucks.

Great article in the Los Angeles Times about teaching inmates to knit: "I don't want to go out anymore, doing what I used to do," he said. "I'd rather stay home, watch TV, sit there and knit."
