Hiya Hiya Needles Review

In this video I give an overview and my review of Hiya Hiya Sharps and Steels interchangeable needle sets, including a comparision with Addi Turbos, Knitter’s Pride Platinas, and Chiaogoo.

The needles in this video are Hiya Hiya Sharps and Hiya Hiya Steels, both interchangeable sets. They are available from many local yarn shops and online retailers.

My nail polish is Gelish “It’s a Lily”.

Fixing a Dropped German Short Row Stitch

In this video I demonstrate how to correct a dropped German Short Row stitch.

My video on working German Short Rows (and substituting them in when a pattern calls for traditional wraps & turns) can be found here.

The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride double-pointed needles. The yarn I’m using is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.

My nail polish is Gelish “It’s a Lily”.
