I have the red knit kit still in stock. This would be the perfect gift for a needle work person. The kit comes with tape measure, collapsible scissors, etc all in one neat little container. You can see all the details on the vendors site.

online magazines Feb 2011
Weather is crazy outside so I am in and looking at online knitting magazines in between organizing.
I'm going to list some below, but you may also find the yarniashop links page on my website useful.
If you knit for kids Petite Purls will spark your creativity. Their patterns are free.
Twist Collective has lovely patterns and articles. You pay for the patterns but they are not expensive and you are supporting designers who will keep giving inspiration.
The latest Knitscene winter 2010/spring2011 came out recently. It is an easy one to miss because Interweave has always considered it a special issue not a subscription issue so make sure you check it out.
Of course if you have a logon for Ravelry (and it is easy to get one. You just go on and ask for one), you can view all sorts of patterns. Find out where to get them and they are yours.
The new readers, apps for iphone, or droids can help you to carry that pdf you bought around with your easily. If you are getting into online patterns, make sure you backup your hard drive (you can also store patterns purchased on ravelry on their site). I like to store my patterns on ravelry and download them to my computer. Your purchased patterns are an asset that you will want to protect. You can also print them out and keep them in a notebook in case you have a computer failure.
