Basix Birch Double Points
Knitter's Pride Basix Birch Double Pointed Needles are made from birch wood, making them both lightweight and strong with a smooth finish and perfect birch wood points. The needles emphasize the natural properties and strength of wood, and have the beautiful, bright colour of the birch tree.
The lovely natural material makes the needles comfortable to use and you can knit for hours without getting sore hands and fingers. These needles are ideal for knitting with many types of yarn as they slide easily through the stitches without catching on the yarn, and are available in ‘hard to find’ larger sizes required for today's popular bulky weight yarns.

Building Blocks Knitting Book
By Michelle Hunter
Build your knitting skills one square at a time!
“Building Blocks” is a series of 12 fun patterns that will build your knitting skills. Starting with simple knit and purl stitches, your confidence will grow as you progress through several major knitting principles. Each block focuses on new stitches and techniques in a sequential fashion that “builds” upon the previously learned skill.
At the end of the series, the knitter is rewarded with an abundance of knitting know-how and 12 beautiful squares to assemble into a sampler afghan, baby blanket, pillows or anything limited only by your imagination! Knit with an Aran weight yarn.
As an added bonus, all the techniques featured in this book are supported with FREE online video instruction available at www.KnitPurlHunter.com
Building in Color
By Michelle Hunter
“I’m excited to announce my new skill building series featuring color work! Learn to expertly manage multiple colors while creating a gorgeous sampler afghan. If you loved Building Blocks then this follow-up book is for you! Many of the designs are timeless favorites, some are original creations, and ALL of them are deliciously fun! Ten colourwork panels combine to make this blanket.
To make all of the “Building In Color“ panels in the book, you will need a total of 2568 mtrs of worsted weight yarn (856 mtrs in each of 3 different colors is recommended).
As an added bonus, all of the techniques featured in this book are supported with FREE online video instruction available at www.KnitPurlHunter.com” – quoted from Ravelry
Building in Color is a carefully designed sequence of patterns that introduce knitters to colour work in many of its various forms. This work follows the same format as Michelle’s earlier book, Building Blocks, and though it is the logical next step in a knitter’s educational arsenal, it can also be used as a stand-alone series of patterns that result in a beautiful finished blanket.
Building with Lace
By Michelle Hunter
Helpful Hint: This would look faaaab-U-lous!! knit with Cotton On DK
Building with Lace is the third publication from renowned knitter and teacher, Michelle Hunter. It is a carefully designed sequence of stitch patterns that introduce knitters to lace work starting with the basics and working towards more difficult stitch patterns to make one gorgeous, elegant wrap/shawl. Knit in a sport/DK weight yarn.
This work follows the same format as Michelle’s earlier publications, Building Blocks and Building in Color, and has been a long awaited addition to this educational series.
This pattern is supported by Michelle’s excellent, and free, online video instruction.
New needles, new yarn, and new pattern books – we’re all set!!
Ready. Set. Start knitting!!
