Buy hand-made knitting needles
These knitting needles are made out of bamboo with glass tops handcrafted by a glass artist friend of mine Andru Anderson. The tops are made of colored glass and are unique so you may get two needles with slightly different top designs. I will do my best to match needles in a pair to each other as closely as possible. The store is starting out small: for now there are only 3 needle sizes available in 3 glass colors each.
US size 3 needles come in White Mushroom and 2 different types of Ivory Swirl
US size 5 needles are available in Yellow Square, Black and White pattern, and Blue Cloud
And finally, US size 6 needles come in Red Square, Dark Blue, and Green Cloud
Shipping Information
I will ship these needles only in the US (all 50 states). Shipping cost is $3.00.
I would love to hear form you what you think about these needles. I’m sure you would like to see other needle sizes and other colors at the store: please leave your wishes in the comments section. I can’t promise I’ll be able to get the needles up on the site very fast, but your interest is the best indicator of what I really should be focusing on, so don’t be shy.

Those knitting needles look great! Do they work really well? I was wondering, could you get a size 8?

Hello,
I was wondering are they made in the US? I am assuming so,, but just thought I would check. Do you get your bamboo from a US supplier?
Sorry with all the questions, just getting some info for someone.
Thanks

Hi Deanna,
I made the needles myself, so yes, they are made in the US. The bamboo, however, did not come from the US supplier.
