Cat Bordhi set the knitting world on fire with her discoveries of more innovative techniques than anyone has a right to expect from one person. She began by discovering that two circular needles could be used for sock knitting in place of traditional double-points. And so the joy-filled journey begins!

Whether the Cat Bordhi Sox in a Sack Set is a gift for a beloved knitter, or a delight for yourself you'll find everything you need to create a beautiful pair of socks using one of the happiest techniques ever. Everything you or your friend needs to launch into the joys of knitting socks on two circular needles is included - and with an Eden Project Bag at your side, your knitting is never far away!

*Why US 1/2.5mm needles? Here's the story: We sent off an email to Cat as part of our planning for the Cat Bordhi Sox in a Sack Set. Our question: what size needle do most knitters use for socks?

Our email caught up with her as she was having dinner - with Nancy Bush, Sally Melville and Stephanie Pearl McPhee! We had stumbled, virtually, into a gathering of knitting luminaries (and yes, we do wish we had been there). Cat seized the moment and took an informal poll. The unanimous consensus was: "Most knitters use a US 2, but socks should really be knit on a US 1." There wasn't even a murmur of doubt, not a moment's hesitation. Cat, Nancy, Sally and Stephanie all said the very same thing. And so, we offer you US 1 needles - because we want your socks to be knit in the very best way possible. (We do, however, recognize that not everyone knits at the same gauge. If you are a very tight knitter, follow the instructions to request US 2 needles instead!)
