We received a tremendous response to this month's blog giveaway! Thank you to everyone who left their comments on our last blog post; we thoroughly enjoyed reading each one.We have used Random.org to select the following winners, whom we will contact to arrange for the delivery of their prizes: 

Congratulations to Pokdej, who will receive a pair of Karbonz Single Point needles! Pokdej said, "I'd like to try the Karbonz because I have developed an allergy to nickel, so I'm looking for a non-wood alternative."

Congratulations to Puella63, who will receive a package of Karbonz Double Point needles! Puella63 said, "I never tried this type of needles and would really like to try the circular ones. I don't knit with the other two types."

Congratulations to Riikkis, who will receive a Karbonz Fixed Circular needle! Riikkis said, "I'd love to test these <3"

As Seen on Knitter's Review: Karbonz!

There's been a lot of buzz about our Karbonz needles; most recently, Clara Parkes shared her thoughts on these high-tech needles on the Knitter's Review website (note: Karbonz are distributed in North America under the Knitter's Pride brand). We're quite flattered with her analysis! If you've been curious about carbon fiber needles, click here to get the scoop from one of our industry's finest experts! You can also read more about our Karbonz needles on the Meadow Yarns blog!

Now for the best part: we'd like to give you a chance to try Karbonz out for yourself! Leave a comment on this post sharing why you'd like to knit with these needles for your chance to win one of three prizes: a pair of Karbonz Single-Point Needles, Double-Point Needles or Fixed Circulars. We'll randomly select three lucky readers as our winners on Friday, March 22. Be sure to leave your Ravelry ID or e-mail address so that we can contact you if you win!

Sneak Peek!

We're very pleased to share a small preview of our Spring Collection with you today right here on our blog. Since introducing our line of carbon fiber needles last year, we have had many requests from fans and shop owners for an interchangeable line of Karbonz needles. This year, we'll not only introduce Karbonz Interchangeable Circular needles to the line, but we'll also offer expanded size options for single point, double point and fixed circular Karbonz needles as well as DPN and interchangeable needle sets.

In fact, we'll be introducing many new & exciting additions to the KnitPro family of products at the Handarbeit + Hobby trade fair in Cologne, Germany next month which will be appearing at a yarn shop near you this Summer - stay tuned for more details!

New Year, New Accessories!

In the new year, everyone is trying to get organized and making resolutions. This is a great time to get your knitting bag in order, too! We know many knitters already have a KnitPro Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set, so in this post we'll be sharing some products and tips to maximize what you have using the right accessories to get you organized!

We wrote about KnitPro Needle Size ID Tags last time as a way to remember which size of needles you are using on a project that is hibernating in your knitting bag. If you're still using the plastic case that the KnitPro Symfonie Interchangeables and KnitPro Nova Interchangeables came in, you can also use these needle size tags in the plastic pockets to help you remember what size needles are in each one.

KnitPro DPN Tubes are essential for knitters who like to knit socks and other small accessories on double pointed needles. The DPN Tubes will ensure that your project stays on the needles. The tube has a slit so that your work in progress can hang out of the tube without getting tangled with your needles. The DPN Tubes can also be used to store you double pointed needles when they are not it use!

The Knit Pro Craft Kit can be a great gift for a beginner to start their own knitting bag! The kit includes a pair of Spectra Single Pointed Knitting Needles, an aluminum crochet hook, a knitting dolly, measuring tape, a pair of scissors, and two plastic tapestry needles.

New Year's Resolutions & Finishing Projects!

Most knitters like to work on more than one project at a time, and sometimes when a project gets put to the side it may be forgotten completely! This year KnitPro is here to help you get organized; below we've listed a few of our favorite products that can be used with any of the KnitPro interchangeable needle sets to maximize your needles and keep track of all your works in progress!

KnitPro Cables

Extra cables are essential for knitters who love to multi-task! With extra cables you can use the same size tips on multiple projects, just use the end caps to keep your stitches safely on the cables while they are resting. 

KnitPro Needle Size ID Tags

While your projects are waiting on your spare cables, place a KnitPro Needle Size ID Tag on the cable so that you won't forget which size needles you were using on your project!

KnitPro Needle Stand

If you knit mostly at home, the KnitPro Needle Stand is a great way to display and organize your needle tips! This handy stand can be used with any KnitPro interchangeable needle set. 

KnitPro Fabric Bag

If you are a knitter on the go, our fabric needle cases are the perfect place to store your needle tips and cables. Keep everything organized for fast and easy access! 

KnitPro Chart Keeper

Whether you knit at home or on the go, the KnitPro Chart Keeper is a great way to stay organized! It will hold up a pattern or chart, and you can use the magnets to keep your place. You'll never have to wonder where your pattern is in your knitting bag or basket - our Chart Keeper will keep your patterns in one convenient place that is always easy to find.
