With last weekend spent doing perhaps my least favorite activity (spring cleaning), there wasn’t much time for knitting. As I gathered pictures and links for this week’s top picks, my jonesing for an extended knitting day has reached alarming levels.

Review & Giveaway: Knitter’s Pride Karbonz
My most-used knitting needles are for sure interchangeable circulars. There are a few brands I like to use, depending on my mood and the project or fiber I’m working with. One of those go-to brands is Knitter’s Pride. Lightweight and warm to the touch, the Knitter’s Pride Karbonz knitting needles are really easy to work with and virtually unbreakable. I always look forward to casting on projects with these needles.
