Winnie's Funeral will be on Nov1. You are in my thoughts

It’s a hard time for my cousin Winnie during this two months.

My cousin has passed on 24 Oct at a very early age. Lost her battle with Cervical cancer.

She leaves behind 2 years old twins daughters, and a loving husband, Wood, along with her parent.

My heart goes out to her children for losing a great mum.

Winnie's funeral will be on Nov, 1 and Nov, 2 at GREEN STREET MORTUARY.

I will go to San Francisco on 31 Oct to 6 Nov.

Because it's rush to arrange the freight, there is not enought time to let customers know.

Sorry for any inconvenience to All ebay customers. I can't mail items at this time until I'm back to HK.

I'm missing you, Winnie:{

2.25mm and 2.75mm Addi premium knitting needles

I believe many expert knitters are waiting for Addi circular knitting needle 2.25mm and 2.75mm for a long time.
New arrival of 2.25mm and 2.75mm had stamped "US#" on the cord only.

From the past, Addi circular needles havenot the exactly US 1 and US 2. They use 2.5mm instead US 1 and 3mm instead US 2.

There is many confuse when expert buyer want them. On my ebay listings, I alway said 2.5mm = US 1.5 and 3mm = US 2.5.

At the same time, also many customers ask me why??? Because the cord stamped US 2 on 3mm needles and US 1 on 2.5mm needles..

I'm not sure there would have any change later when they stamped on the cord.

We have 2.75mm 16" Addi ,2.75mm 24" Addi needle , 2.75mm 32" Addi needle ,and 2.25mm 16" Addi needle , 2.25mm 24" Addi needle ,2.25mm 32" Addi needle right now. Have your time to visit Addi Needles arpat yarn store. Enjoy knitting^^

Susan bates circular knitting needle

Susan bates circular knitting needle

This is another one winning on ebay auction. It's sooooo funny. I haven't seen this kind of circualr at Hong Kong. The tip and the cord are seamless- Nylon circular.

I don't know when it appeared at the market. I guess this is very long time ago.

I can see the trade mark is a vintage style Angle baby.

I try it once, its funny, full of joy because i can't stop laughting, Just like a kid trying a new toy.
Sorry, if you are the fans of this needles.
The needles is flexiable, not easy to handle and knit, just for experience.

Susan Bates nylon circular knitting needle is made in USA. I saw it recommend if needles curl, soak into hot water. Yes, it's a good method for nylon, but not the metal made tips.
I love this vintage look needles. I'll keep it well. Great fun.

Addi Lace Circular Knitting needle or 24K Addi needle?

Addi lace Circular knitting needle or 24k Addi circular Knitting Needle?

What are the different between Addi Lace and 24K Gold plate?
Addi lace Circular knitting Needles are still selling in the market but 24K gold plate was not in manufactured.

I remember 18 years ago, I bought my first 24K gold plate circular knitting needle 7mm 80cm.
It's amazing beautiful, light weight, super fine tips and really SMOOTH.

At that time, bulky sweater was very popular, but I had Aero 7mm and 10mm circular needles only. The ugly inflexible plastic cord and terrible plastic needles made me explosive. Nearly mad with the needles.

The First touch Gold Addi needles, impossible.
It's my dream needle.
It follows me 18 years and finished many many projects and offer pure knitting bliss for my works.
Now the tips was discolor but still very good condition.

Selling Addi premium circular needles on eBay is my job now.
A few month before I found several boxes of 24K Addi circular needles at my warehouse so I posted some auctions of 24K gold plate needles. Customers love them much. Every knitter enjoy knitting.

Visit my ebay store, enjoy shopping!
