A few weeks ago I got in an order of Hiya Hiya needles.  I’d heard great things about them, but never had a chance to use them myself.  So I was really excited to get this order.

Okay really here’s the thing.  Thy have these little itty bitty 9″circulars for knitting things like socks.  They are just about one of the cutest things ever.

When I first cast them on I wasn’t so sure, they took some getting used to but by about the 2nd round of knitting I was in love.   They are really so much fun to knit with.

In the pic there I’m using Classic Elite Summer Sox to knit a pair of socks for my man, because every man really needs a pair of girly socks.

In case you’re sitting there thinking some thing along the lines of “oh those are cute, but I don’tknit socks” or “I like my dpns” or I knit my socks magic loop”  the Hiya Hiya needles can meet all your needs.  I got in a full range of bamboo and steel needles.  The bamboo are lovely, that’s what I used for those socks.  The stell are hollow and weigh pretty much nothing.

The range goes from 9″ to 60″ and they do dpns too.

There is an interchangeable set but they’re on back order right now:(  I’ll be sure to let you know when they come in.

Finally

I know what you’re really looking for is an update on the store.  We went to Calgary on the weekend for a friend’s birthday.  While we were there we picked up about 1500 pounds worth or shelving at Ikea.  So many shelves, so heavy, so gonna be awesome!

The afternoon the painting begins.  Maybe I’ll have new pics tomorrow.
