Knit and Crochet in any Language

Being a business in Queens I'm lucky enough to have customers from all over the world. Some have an understanding of the english language but not always. I know a little bit of Spanish but only enough to get myself in trouble, other languages I know much less. I am able to get instruction books in Spanish but not other languages from my current distributors.

In order to try and service all my customers I have been trying to get books in other languages but no luck so far. What I did find was a wonderful web site that helps convert knitting and crochet patterns to your native language.

Wise Needle http://www.wiseneedle.com/ has a wonderful community and glossary of terms that is FREE to use. You just put in a term and choose the language. Very quickly it will give you the term in your own language. This is a great way for children of family members that are un able to speak the language to convert patterns.

The direct link the the glossary is http://www.wiseneedle.com/glossary.asp

But while you're there take a look at their vast knowledge of knitting and crochet.

More New Products - Crochet Thread

New Crochet Thread will also be available soon. 

From Red Heart they will be selling 1,000 yard size 10 thread for only $6.25. For now they only have 2 colors but maybe if we request it enough, they will make other colors in the bigger balls too.  If you look really hard, you'll see that Red Heart is actually from Coats & Clark which is the same company that packages the Aunt Lydia Size 10. Maybe we will see a combination of the brands soon. 

Right now the only company that sells big balls of colored crochet cotton is Pisgah Yarn Company. I can order them for you by request. 

Aunt Lydia Size 10 Crochet Cotton is also coming out with some new colors. These will also be in stock soon. Let me know if you're interested so I can order enough for everyone.
