The circular needle filing system.

Perhaps you've noticed a slight change in the shop in the past two weeks. Not a huge furniture rearrangement. Not a cubby full of bright, new yarn. Not a new sweater hanging on the wall. Just a little change in the way we store and display our large collection of circular needles.

We used to keep the Addi Turbos and the Addi Lace needles in separate places--one in the first room, and one behind the desk. They were tucked out of the way because that was where we had room for them, and we'd pull out whatever size you needed when you asked us. Now they are together, the Addi Turbos and the Addi Lace, and filed carefully in labeled drawers so that you, too, can find whatever needles you may be looking for. They are arranged by length first, from smallest to largest, and then by size. Tidy, I think, and easier to access than they were previously.

It's kind of a mundane thing, a new circular needle filing system, but Anne and I are completely delighted by it. For now, the Knitter's Pride circulars and the Crystal Palace circulars are still near the desk in the second room of the shop, but we've got plans to get all our needles together soon. More furniture rearranging is ahead, as always. Just keeping you on your toes.
