Hiya Hiya has gotten a bunch of new things!

• Interchangeable sets! I've ordered some of their stainless steel interchangeables. I'll be getting them as soon as they're back in stock. I'll be ordering the bamboo sets as soon as they're available.
• Crochet hooks! Multi colored aluminum, and the smaller steels.
• 11" circs! Stainless steel, the tips are bent.
  
• 12" circs! Also stainless, with bent tips.

We've now got in stock the some of the 6" stainless DPNs, and a wider range of the 9" and 60" steel circs.

Several months ago, some wonderful person gave me a 4 harness floor loom. After lots of reading, I jumped in with both feet:


That warp is cotton, natural and hand dyed, in the process of being made into tea towels. Even the kid loves it:

I think he loves it a little *too* much. He's 4, and described to me in great detail the treadle pattern and color bobbins he was using. When I suggested that perhaps he could have my inkle loom all to himself for a project, he immediately asked me when he would be able to use "the big one" again.

The first towel off:

I put enough warp on the loom to do four towels. let me tell you, I was super tired of the pattern by the end of the fourth. I still have to finish the other three. Now to warp up some scarves.
