Though there are several talented sellers on Etsy that sell decorative knitting needles, it still seems as though this part of the knitter's market is lacking(in quantity, not quality!). In comparison to other knitting accessories (stitch markers, yarn bowls, etc.) there are definitely less options for cute knitting needles. It's been a small goal of mine to be able to display an array of decorative knitting needles in a cute jar on my desk. I've started my collection purchasing some cute needles from Kelli at DotDotSmile. Her clay needle toppers are so cute and she was great at communicating quickly and efficiently.
Because of this lull in the knitting accessory market, I've decided to give decorative needle design a try. I'm heading to one of my "local" yarn shops in a few hours to grab some needles and beads, and we'll see where my creativity takes me this afternoon! I'll post updates as soon as I feel they are up to par with the wonderful sellers on Etsy. Wish me luck!
