Poppy, see your post at the knitting forum. Tami

Hi, It's called NeedleMaster by Boye(who are now owned by Wrights). it comes in a vinyl case/folder which zips closed. You can make knitting needles sizes 2-15. I just checked the Wrights.com site and they listed a number of places where you could buy it, But - I could only find it on Herrschners.com(do a search on needle master and you'll see it). their regular price of this is $90(which is about what I paid 15-20 years ago). Right now they have it on sale for $60. I really love mine tho I don't knit as much as I used to do. You can make all kinds of circular and "straight"needles with the cables, etc. included. Hope you find it. The Wrights.com website does have a form for ordering extra parts for the set if you want. Just realized this is a very old post. Hope the info can help someone. Sally

Hello! Check the page below... it has links to several well-known yarn suppliers, and their websites have numerous free patterns. I didn't check them all for you, but there were several knit cardigans at the Lion Brand site. Let us know if you don't find what you are looking for and I'm sure other help will pop up!

Head Huggers.org has a nice one. I made this for my mom last year. Yes, it is knit in the round, but you can easily knit it on two needles and sew it up when you're done. Here is a link that might be useful: floppy brim hat
