Free Knitting Patterns and Tutorials!

Just in case that not everybody has found out yet: www.knittingpatterncentral.com is an uncredible source of FREE information for knitters.

It contains a well structured directory of Free Knitting Patterns, sorted by projects, then sub-projects and finally access to hundreds of other directories where the free patterns are from. It is easy!

Secondly, there is a separate directory for Knitting Instructions and Illustrated Tutorials. More: Tips & Tricks and a Featured Pattern of the Week.

Go check it out - buy your yarn in our Needle & Arts Centre - and HAPPY KNITTING!

PS: have you checked out our own web site yet at www.needlenart.com?

Welcome Spring!

I am feeling a bit "blog rusty" after focussing on our new web site www.needlenart.com for several weeks. The site has been widely expanded after my first announcement. Can you imagine that we now carry more than 170 different yarns in our yarn department?! We ourselves were totally stunned. Thanks to Pam for getting the complete list together which you find in our web site's yarn page. As I mentioned before: next will be our online e-commerce yarn shop for selected yarns.


With Spring and sunshine came new yarn. Our last shipment from Estelle brought lots of new Baby Yarn (King Cole , Sprinkles, Sapphire), the colourful Pelican yarn (see photo), the fancy Whisper yarn, and more shades of the soft Watercolour yarn (see sample). And much more... You got to feel it!
