We have just replenished our Art Viva knitting needles, and there are 2 new colours to choose from and we are the first to have them! White with black spots and white with red spots.
Art Viva needles are beautifully hand made from Tasmanian Oak, then hand painted with groovy spots, they look, feel and smell devine.
And we have for the month of October the Betty Jane Breast Cancer Knitting Needles also by Art Viva where a percentage of every pair sold goes to the McGrath Breast Cancer Foundation here in Australia,

GOOD ON YOU CATE!
OSCAR-winning actor Cate Blanchett has been nick-named Cate Blanket after stepping out in a colourful crochet patchwork dress to open Screen Worlds at ACMI in Melbourne last week.
"Cate is a real supporter of avant garde fashion ... let's face it, she would look good in a tea cosy or a toilet roll. Designer and Project Runway Australia mentor Henry Roth gave Blanchett a "gold star" for being imaginative and different. "I love the play of texture with this one-shoulder red-carpet silhouette, featuring hem, bodice and sleeve flounces that was all over the New York runways," Roth said
Those wanting to buy their own Blanchett blanket dress look are out of luck, however. Ms Plunkett said yesterday that the piece was a one-off dress created for their Australian Fashion Week show earlier this year and it would not be going into production.
