The BEST acrylic/wool blend on the market
When it comes to a good quality acrylic/wool blend yarn, you can't beat Encore Worsted...in my opinion, at least. I love that it's soft and lofty squishy, yet washes and dries like a dream I have dried in in the dryer on low and also flat air-dried. What I especially love is that it retains its quality look and feel for years, even with numerous washings. I still love a pure wool, but when easy care is important, this is my go-to yarn...so much so that I recently stashed one of every color!! I can now do anything I want in any color! p.s. and the JBW price is the best I've found for this yarn

Outstanding!
I was hesitant to get these needles, but was intrigued by the design. Years ago, I had to stop using steel needles because they aggravated the arthritis in my hands I know many other knitters with the same problem. I was unable to use my Addi stainless steel needles as well as some of my older brushed aluminum needles, so I was taking a gamble. THESE DON'T BOTHER MY HANDS!! I don't know what the difference is, but I can use these comfortably...so much so that I came back to JBW and purchased the full set of interchangeable needles. Of course, the feature of the measurement marks is just the added bonus feature that makes these needles the best. I also love that they are totally compatible with my Knitter's Pride interchangeable needle sets as well. This is money well spent!

Love these stitch markers
I love these markers even though I don't use them with the Maker's Keep. I just find they are the right size, thickness, and weight to use easily with my knitting. And they're pretty! I use markers a lot to aid me in my knitting, often color coding their placement as a reminder of what needs to be done at a certain spot. I find these glide smoothly over all needles and with all yarns, although I wish there was a size between the original and the small sizes. One fun aspect of these: if my cat knocks them on the floor, I have a little magnet that makes picking them up an absolute dream!

KP needles are the best!
I love, love, love KP needles! I actually have 3 sets of their interchangeables, but I needed a small size only available as a fixed circ. I love the needles and the cables and the joins. Best investment ever in my knitting.

love these! great if you have a cat!
I once got a bunch of these as a door prize and discovered they were metal and could be picked up with a magnet. This is great when my cat knocks over my container of markers because I can pick them all up quickly with a magnet. : in addition, I keep a small magnet in my travel bag of markers and they all stay together if the bag is spilled! I'm planning on buying all sizes! And they're pretty!!!

Love this yarn!
I really like Cascade 220 Superwash. It's got great stitch definition and washes beautifully I even dry it partially on low heat, making it my yarn of choice for many of the items I knit for my college-student daughter. I do wish it came in the entire color line of the regular 220, but the range of superwash colors is getting better every season. I also look forward to trying some of the superwash paints soon and do they have SW heathers or Quattro?
