The needle is splendid and surpassed my expectations. It has a delicate look but is solid enough to use. It matched the description totally. I am so happy to have purchased it and will be using it soon. I like the yarn tail holder, it will be very useful. Thank you for your craftsmanship Leslie.

One of my now-favorite cable needles. I’m growing my collection and now purchasing for “fiber friends” also.

It looks great and is very nice quality. I'm sure it works fine for cables but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'm forever hunting cable needles in my chair cushions so this will be a big improvement.

How I went from poor student to good teacher.

I was not happy in a normal school setting. Long before all those learning labels came to be I just knew I felt trapped in a standard classroom. And I resented my creativity. Now I feel it is the best gift I have been given. In teaching I am careful to be a cheerleader for the more creatively timid while staying out of the way of those who take the ball and run!
After more than forty years of making and selling I have now closed my studio to the public (except by appointment) to make space to experiment and play in new directions. This time around I am able to be less self judgmental and more trusting of the process. I am both grateful and excited to have this opportunity. Etsy gives me the platform to share the results world wide.

I have crocheted and knitted since my teens and started jewelry making right after leaving my freshman year of college. Putting all my favorite things together, I now make clasps and closures for knitters, crocheters and weavers and teach workshops for those who like to make their own. I come from the perspective of keeping the workshops simple in tool requirements. The student is also free to experiment and make a shawl pin, tea stirrer, ornament, etc.
