Many customers have purchased the luxurious needles from Lantern Moon. These are hand-crafted in Vietnam from Palmwood and Ebony and come in sizes 5-19. We just received our TNNA order today; the needles should grace our spinaround by tomorrow! Are the needles worth it? Knit with them, and you tell us. We find them to be the perfect combination of beauty and function.

And we are off on vacaction tomorrow. We planned our trip to London well before the horror of last Thursday, and after some discussion have decided to still go. Why? Because we want to honor the Londoners who have stayed strong and were shoulder to shoulder with us after September 11. So look for our blogs from that wonderful city; we imagine that we will report on a "wool shop" or two. Lew was delighted to learn that we have internet access in our hotel room. And of course the store will remain open thanks to the people Annie Modesitt referred to as "One of the best staffs I have ever seen in a yarn shop." As always, we thank them.

Have a fabulous trip!
