New Knitting Needle Kit by Denise Cozzitorto

Knitting has gotten a second wind! Its popularity is growing everywhere around the world, and people of all ages are taking up this classic craft. College students, hot fashionistas, and even celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Julia Roberts are all learning how to knit. Heyday Fashion has put a unique spin on the timeless craft with a newly launched D.I.Y. Knitting Needle Kit.

With all the innovative projects and yarns out there today knitting has become a favorite and relaxing pastime for just about everyone. Even young hipsters are working on knitting projects while listening to their ipods and sipping cups of Chai Tea. Heyday Fashion`s D.I.Y Knitting Needle Kit is extremely user friendly and would make the perfect project for any trendsetter.

Tired of plain knitting needles that made her want to gouge her eyes out rather than purl a stitch, Denise Cozzitorto, owner and operator of Heyday Fashion, decided to take matters into her own hands. Armed with a set of dowel rods and a little creativity, she created a set of kitschy knitting needles. Realizing that customizing her own set of knitting needles was just as fun as knitting a scarf, Cozzitorto decided to share the fun by offering D.I.Y Knitting Needle Kits through her online store. Available online, the kits come with all the supplies you need to make a set of US size 10.5, (6.5mm) knitting needles, and are available in five different color combinations that are sure to please everyone. The kits include: Dowel rods, wooden buttons, paint, varnish, a paintbrush, sandpaper, a pencil sharpener, glue, and detailed instructions to make a one of a kind knitting needle set.
