Giveaway: Laurel Hill Needles

November 30, 2015 by Sarah White

laurel hill needles giveawayNot too long ago I posted a roundup of some new-to-me products that make great gifts, and one of the ones I included was Laurel Hill knitting needles. These pretty needles are slick, shiny, just a little bit sharp, light and lovely to use.

These particular needles are made out of coconut palm wood and are available in sizes 9, 10, 11 and 13 (5.5, 6, 8 and 9 mm). I really liked using them even though I use circular knitting needles for most purposes.

This week I’m giving away a set of all four sizes of these needles to one reader. This week we’re doing a Rafflecopter contest so you can earn extra chances to win by visiting Facebook if you want. The contest runs through Monday, Dec. 7 at 12 a.m. Eastern.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    My favorite needles are the Knitpicks interchangeable needles. I love the points on these needles. I have the complete set of the harmonies and options. I also have most of the tips in the Caespians and Sunstruck. I would say my favorite tips to use are the Harmonies (rainbows). I like the finish on the wood.

    many needles look so pretty but I just have dollar store ones and old aluminum ones from my elders who have passed and some thrift sales…i love the dpns, they remind me of my elders and sitting next to them hearing the clicking when I was child. Bamboo are light weight but I’ve broken too, I knit tight as I am still a newbee knitter. Ive seen addi turbos and chicgoo (i think is the name) circulars that look like dream needles They are all too nice to pick a fav..lol

    My favorite needles are based on the project I’m doing. I love my Hiya Hiya Sharps for socks. I like my Knitter’s Pride Specials for hats. My KnitPicks for garments. I love them all.

Knit a Great Button Down Shirt

Just about anything you can make in fabric you can make in knitting, but there are some styles that you just don’t see that often translated into knitting. 

For example, a button down collared shirt. This is a classic design, of course, and it looks great in a knit version, but it’s just not something you see much of. 

Noma Ndlovu’s Guglethu shirt is the pattern to try if you want to knit your own button down shirt. This one is inspired by cashmere tops (though the sample was made out of yak yarn, not cashmere, and uses two strands of lace weight yarn held together) and includes lots of high-fashion details like double-knit cuffs, collar and shoulder seams. 

It has a patch pocket on the front and 10 buttons including the button band and the cuffs. 

The designer says you can also use a DK weight yarn held singly if you’d rather, and that the shirt looks good in a variety of yarns. There is another version on Ravelry that uses Berroco Remix Light, which is a mix of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk and cellulose fibers. It has a more relaxed look but it still really pretty. 

The pattern has 12 sizes, with a full bust measurement ranging from 32.35 to 72.25 inches, or 82 to 183.5 cm. The designer suggests 2 to 6 inches, or 5 to 15 cm, of positive ease when you pick your size. I could totally see knitting one that’s even bigger to wear more like a jacket, because I do that a lot with button down shirts I already own.

I love all the details on this shirt, which isn’t necessarily difficult to knit, but might introduce you to some things you’ve never knit before (like those cuffs with the plackets, or a shirt collar like this). 

To learn more about this shirt and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself, head to Ravelry.
