*****

Nancy Bush loves double-point needles and has said many times how very grateful she is that she learned how to use them well. We are grateful for Nancy's work that has brought so many knitting traditions to life again, and wanted to create a set that honors her efforts.

Whether the Nancy Bush 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 Nancy's beloved double-point needles. Everything you or your friend needs to discover the joys of the living traditions of sock knitting 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 Bordhi as part of our planning for the Sox in a Sack Sets. 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!)
