I bought the Classic Jumbo set for the express purpose of building a yarn swift. It was a super thrifty alternative for the casual knitter and yarn ball winder such as myself!

Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I can't speak more highly for the intuitiveness of the Canon menus and ergonomics. The digital SLR is really something even amateurs can value in that learning even some of the most basic fundamentals can enable you to take brilliant photos. Not to mention that shooting in RAW will allow those who are more adept at Photoshop to have far more options in processing. A must have for anyone with a real interest in taking their photography to the next level.

Felt Balls by HandBEHG

First to recommend

Description

I've been looking for a knitting/crochet pattern for felt balls since I saw these super cute Japanese felt ball necklaces being worn in jdramas and mags. This etsy seller offered free shipping which I couldn't refuse, plus it is way easier to buy them already felted and in assorted colors than to try to buy all of that yarn and spend the time felting them just right. Now all I have to do is string them and possibly adorn them with mini embellishments like embroidery!
