Hi Carol, the KnitMaster is a set of needles, sizes 5 thru 15 (US), with
cables, etc, you can make jumper needles, circulars, etc. Knitmaster is
plastic.
Needlemaster is the same thing, only in aluminum.
DD#2 (Okinawa, USAF) gets first dibbs, but if she doesn't ask for them, I
would let the knitmaster go for $15 (they're $39, new) and the
Needlemaster I'd let go for $25 (they're $59, new)

I got some really nice yarn when I was over there! Hypermart and a little
yarn shop off Gate 2 street were the best places. I always took the kids
shopping with me, because they had learned to read Japanese in school, so
they could tell me what the content was....
Oh, and they had such good deals on bamboo needles...I really miss shopping
over there

Grin, I have Kelley looking for silk yarn and linen thread over there for
me.
And some bamboo circulars in the 8 1/2 inch length.

....speaking of silk...

My friend Caryn found a new (to us anyway) product called soy silk. It's a
fiber spun from the fuzzy parts of the soybean plant that they throw away
after processing the bean part. Supposedly, it looks and feels just like
silk, at only a fraction of the cost. We were thinking of going in together
on some bulk...erm..."fleece" to spin up and try out for ourselves. I'm
interested to see how it turns out.

I really love silk yarn though...is it really that inexpensive in Japan?
And bamboo needles too? I have some friends over there...if it IS that
great of a value, I ought to put them to work! LOL

I have a soy silk sample in my stash (along with some of the Ingeo - the
corn stuff). I don't like the feel of any of it as compared to REAL silk,
and pound for pound the Ingeo is MUCH more expensive than silk brick.

Before you jump in for a pound, buy an ounce and decide if you like it.

Yes, tell them what to look for and get a stash going!
Y'know, OT a bit... but when Kelley was stationed in S. Korea, she got
me a Dallas Stars hockey jersey with Ed Belfour's name and number...
she actually had it made special... well, they're like $80+ 'here' and
she got it for $12... it's cuz they're made there in the first place!
Hugs,
Noreen
