Set of two fine silver cable needles 2 5/8 (6.8 cm) and 2 1/8 " (5.2 cm) long I remember on a long overseas flight to Tokyo, the stewardess saw I was knitting a cabled scarf and sat down on the seat arm to watch. She was very impressed with the intricate twisting pattern of the cabling - that was, until she saw me actually do it. "That's it?" she said. "That's all it takes?" She immediately picked up my needles, made a couple of cables, and set out for a twisty future of Aran sweaters and fancy socks. The secret is out. Making cables is not hard. I won't go into it here. There are wonderful books and videos online to show you how, but the truth is you will have cables from your head to your toes once you learn! Making those cables will be extra luxurious with these solid silver cable needles. You will receive two sizes, to cover all your knitting needs. Crafted of silver clay, they are hand formed, then kiln fired to produce a pair of sold metal pure silver needles. Then they are meticulously polished to ensure no rough surfaces, so they will glide like silk through your wool. Step up your crafting experience, or give the perfect gift to your favorite knitter. I can guarantee he or she will be thrilled! Please note: since this is a classic and simple shape, I do not rephotograph each stitch marker set. If you would like a photo of the set you will be getting, just let me know and I'll send you a picture for approval. Thank you. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE: THE CUSTOM-MADE QUICK ORDER FEATURE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR SALES TAX. IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS WE WILL NEED TO AMEND THE PROPOSAL TO ADD 9.5% TX SALES TAX BEFORE PROCEEDING. THANK YOU!

JENNYBUTTONS is where you will find handmade blazer buttons, shawl pins, cufflinks, and other jewelry made from silver and bronze. I use silver clay and bronzclay for much of my work…microscopic metal particles held together with an organic binder. They can be formed as any clay can..then when kiln fired, at temperatures up to 1650 degrees Farenheit, the binders burn away and the metal particles fuse, resulting in beautiful objects of solid silver and bronze.
Because each piece is individually formed from clay, and does not require models and casting, the process is direct and lends itself to custom work. I do many beautiful monogrammed items and custom jewelry and cufflinks.
