Look what Mr. Fluffy Haired Postie brought for me on Tuesday! Fantastically fabulous black glitter resin knitting needles handmade by the incredibly talented (and published) Kerry of PennyDog Jewellery . I will admit that I may have badgered her quite a bit that she needed to get black glitter for her resin knitting needles, I won't take all the credit or blame though as Dria and a few others also annoyed her as well.
I wasn't expecting them as a gift, even though she said she would send me something for the balls of yarn I sent her for display purposes. Its the loveliest thing about being a crafty blogger, how lovely everyone is in the blogging/crafting community, its enough to make one cry, or at least make me cry that there are so many like minded and helpful people out there. It is truly a wondrous thing.
Kerry do these knitting needles have a name? Black Glitter or something more emo or goth glam?
I can't wait to start knitting with them, I'm not sure what my knitting is only very simple, but I do need to knit a rock cover for the Knitted Nature knit Graffiti Challenge on Crafteroo.

Gosh - Kerry made them? They're amazing! I thought she had just sent them to you as a swap gift or something. She's a clever girl, that one..and still a baby too *sigh*
Hehehe I hadn't thought of a name til now as I forgot to photograph them to list in my shop for future orders. D'oh. I sent you them since you send me a rice warmer earlier this month :)
Anyway names, hmmmmm.... Is Black Magic a bit cliche?
Also I should point out that the clay ends are by the talented Gill from Hollingdale Designs- I bought them from the Comic Relief shop!
They are stunning!
pennydog- they should be named Meridian after me! *wink*
midnight?
Melantha (it means black flower in Greek)
no ideas
