I'm nowhere near a Hobby Lobby. I'd be willing to pay shipping, of course, as well as a fee for time/gas/effort.

I'm looking to get 16" circular needles to complete my set. And/or a 9" cable called a Boye KnitMates cable...not sure if they do have them this small. IF they do have the 9" cable - that's all I want, just the cable, no circulars. I'll try that with my set first. It's about $3-4 so would be on sale for $1-2.

I would like 16" Boye circular needles OR Susan Bates Silverado 16" in sizes 1,2,3,6,7,8,9, and 10. Can be any mix of the two, I'm not that picky, just that they fall within the price I want to pay, which both of these do...I am picky only that the Susan Bates ones be the Silverados and not another kind of Susan Bates (they also have Silvalume and Quicksilver which makes it kind of confusing).

Through tomorrow (Saturday the 10th) they are having 50% off - I want to buy them for 50% off so it would need to be someone who could go today or tomorrow (but if you can't ship till next week that's fine). I'm more than willing to call your local store and find out what they have in stock and even have them set it aside for you, if they will. (And I just kind of found out about this so I know it's short notice.)

They are usually around $5-7 apiece, from what I can tell, so with the 50% off they would be $2.50-3.50.

Please let me know if you're planning on making a trip anyway...I'd just love to get these. I'm willing to get some but not all the sizes, not picky; just nowhere near a Hobby Lobby or anywhere else that sells needles for less than $8 apiece, and can't find them online for less than $5-7 plus shipping.

Thanks!!!!

Wow! there aren't any in the northeast at all, Lauren. I just looked it up thinking there might be one in NH. We are going an hour away on Monday for a neurology appt. for J and I thought I stop into one if we had one. Nope, not even a few states away! I guess that's one thing you've figured out...we don't have every chain store up here.

Lauren. I was there yesterday. Unfortunately, I can't get back before tomorrow. Can you wait a couple of weeks. They run this sale at least once a month. ACMoore will meet their advertised price but it is right next door. You can print the ad from the hobbylobby.com site and take it to ACMoore. I imagine if you do not have a Hobby Lobby close by they won't honor it but maybe if someone else has an ACMoore closer to them than Hobby Lobby, they can do that for you.

Thanks.

Actually there isn't one anywhere near us in Florida, either - or I would have asked my mom, LOL. There are so many knitters up here, but few cheap knitting needles!

I posted at sewingmamas.com as well and someone is already going to 2 different ones today and will pick up what she can find. So thanks everyone...but got it taken care of.

Michelle, thanks for the offer...just that I'm making hats for Xmas so wanted these asap. But next time the knitting stuff is 50% off, and if you think of it, drop me a PM?? There might be some sizes I still need.

I looked everywhere online trying to match that price and just couldn't unless I ordered 3 of each size at craftsforless.com. Um, not going to work for me!

Lauren,

In the future, check out

They seem pretty cheap, but I don't know about shipping.
