They are wonderful! I'm a tight knitter and often broke my bamboo and/or rosewood dpns, but didn't like the slipperiness of metal needles until I discovered these. They aren't slippery and no more broken needles. Pricey, but very much worth it. I have to comment on the Signature DPNs – I’m so glad that they are available to you now. They are wonderful!

It's easy to ride, once you get used to the lightness of the steering on a trike versus a bicycle. (I've not ridden a Pashley trike, but was concerned about buying the child seats secondhand as they would be over 30 years old!) I ride around Abingdon with my 2 girls (aged 5 and 3) and can cover a few miles at a reasonable pace. They enjoy being on the back. the under seat bag is pretty spacious and combined with a basket on the front and a backpack I can carry quite a lot of shopping. If you're within driving distance of Abingdon, you'd be welcome to come and take a look. Best Regards, Nicola Hi Liz,

I've added some more details on the website about what you can expect to find inside the magazine (no photo's I'm afraid!). It's available to pre-order now and I'll do my best to pack and post all pre-ordered magazines as soon as they arrive. -- Nicola Dear Christa,

Since I really liked both the first and the second issue I'm very curious about the third one. When will the third issue be released? When will it be for sale? Thank you, Christa Dear Nicola,

I saw your dad last night and he told me about your website. As I am a textile artist I couldn't wait to get back home and visit your website. I am SO impressed and will definitely be sending an order once I have explored all your wonderful yarns. My daughter's house is called, ' The Old Woolshop' and like me she is in to all kinds of yarn for her weavings. I shall be sending her a link to your site. Best wishes, Judy Hi Nicola

I find knitting on circs endless and so it soon becomes boring. Getting to the end of a needle gives me a natural place to stop and do quick chores, check the oven grab a drink.
