Leaf Lace and Panda Sock KitThis kit includes your choice of either one set of Sox Stix or two KA bamboo circular needles for those who would prefer to work a sock on two circulars. The kit also includes one small go knit pouch in red and the FiberTrends Leaf Lace Sock Pattern. Last but certainly not least you pick the color of the two 50gram balls of Panda Silk Yarn that are included in this kit. This is a great gift for any knitter.KA Classic Bamboo Circular Knitting NeedlesI (Rachel) Really like these needles. I'm using them to knit my lace leaf socks. The needles swivel on the cord which makes for nice free knitting. The cord doesn't get twisted and then tighten. I really like this feature. Now the cord is also nice and fine and fairly soft. You do need to steam them lightly to get them to relax but that is pretty much par for the course. The join feels very secure and I had no problems with yarn catching on it. The points are great nice and pointy but not sharp so they are still easy on the fingers. Give these needles a try I'm sure you will love them.Lantern Moon Sox StixThese little needles are simply elegant double point needles. You will be charmed by their cute presentation and impressed with their ease of use. The needles are perfect for socks, mittens, gloves and other small projects. The points are pointy, but not sharp and won't prick your fingers.GoKnit PouchThese are super handy for your knitting projects. The small size is perfect for a sock project. These pouches are pretty much indestructible. Mine has withstood my little sharp scissors getting loose in it more than a few times without a tear.FiberTrends Pattern AC-58 Leaf Lace Socksdesigned by Evelyn A. Clark, these lacy leaf socks could be made to catch the leaf color of any season. This is a pretty easy lace pattern if you aren't too familiar with working lace this is a great place to start.Crystal Palace Panda Silk Sock YarnThe bamboo gives a great feel and a luster, the wool gives a soft feeling core and the combed silk gives it sheen and strength. This yarn is SO soft and silky, magical to knit with. Panda Silk Yarn comes in printed colors that are all tone-on-tone shades with solid colors coordinated with the solids. The numbers are a clue - color 4001 coordinates with 3001, 4006 with 3006, etc.
