We heard this week from Kimberly Ligocki, the manager of K2Tog, a local yarn store in Albany, CA. This summer, the K2tog team embarked on a community knitting project that involves the Fish Hat as published on Knitty.
K2tog and its knitters have promised to knit a unique fish hat for every student at the local Richmond High School who score proficient or better on their state math exam. GET IT? “ProFISHent”. To date, the knitters have made more than 80 hats and will give them away at a ceremony on Oct 12.
Richmond High is an inner-city school in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the Bay Area. The K2Tog team have embarked on this project to convey their caring support towards the students of this troubled school. And Knitty is so glad that a project we published can help do something important.
To celebrate the launch of eight of STC/Melanie Falick Books bestselling titles as e-books Open Road Media created short video profiles on three of their authors: Andrea Berman Price, Joelle Hoverson and Melanie Falick. The videos are lovely, definitely worth a viewing.
A knitting group in Chesterfield County, Virginia, announces that they have donated their 100,000th item to charity. Amazing! The group has been active for 10 years, and donates to numerous hospitals, homeless shelters, and police and emergency responders.
Color us intrigued… Rockhurst University, in Kansas City, is setting up a Halloween-themed “Mystical Math Room” as a way to engage students and the public in mathematical learning. Activities will include, apparently, a Haunted Batting Cage, Mathemagician, Sudoku and Crazy Mathematical Knitting.
It’s Socktober. What are you knitting for your feet? Need any ideas… ?
Friend of Knitty, Rachael Herron, has just released “A Life In Stitches“, a memoir about life and knitting. In this interview published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Rachael talks about her knitting life and her writing life.
Yay! I love Hiya Hiya needles!
Gorgeous needles and a very generous giveaway. Love it and you <3
Sweet prize!!!
Great giveaway – I’ve been thinking of buying a new set of interchangeables!
………….. hiya hiyas! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
and the whole fish hat phenom totally made my day!
I’ve been in the market for a set of interchangeables! This would help me get quite a few items off of my WIP list!
Love the idea from K2tog, what a great way to support the community and encourage students to do well on their exam!
Socktober for me is attempting to knit a pair of socks for my brother (who has big feet!!), first attempt didn’t turn out so well, hopefully this one will end up better.
Wow the excellent contests just keep coming! Thanks for sharing the treasures.
Great prize! Would looove to participate!
Great prize. Never enough needles.
It’s leave a comment to enter, yes?
Thanks for the fun of a drawing, and for such a fabulous prize!
a georgeous gift,
I would like to win!
Don’t have a sat of interchangeables to my name, or any of the bigger set size needles.
Love the fish hat idea 🙂
I’d love to win the needles!
I love the fish hats-wish I had someone to knit one for.
Great prize-I have wanted to try the hiya hiya interchangables for a while now.
That’s one cool prize!
What a great story! And what a great giveaway 🙂 Keep them coming!
Please enter me for the contest. Those needles are great.
Also I love the fish hat project. I’m currently on my second fish hat which is going to be long enough to use as a scarf. But my first was for a woman with cancer who wanted “interesting head coverings”. I wish those young testers luck.
Great prize! I love the story about the fish hats too.
haven’t tried the hiya interchangeables, but the small fixed circs are wonderful
Love the fish hat project. Thanks for the give away!
Awesome post!
Wow….That fish hat project is something to admire. So cool!
I’d love to try these needles!
I’ve asked for yarn to make Samus on my Christmas wish list, and I would love a set of interchangables to make Samus with!
What a great giveaway. And those fish hats are spectacular!
Oh man those needles! What a great giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway!!! I love those fish hats– just put them on my “to do” list
ditetre(at)mac(dot)com
Love those needles!
Amazing giveaway 🙂 Count me in!
What a wonderful idea with the fish hats! Very cool about the VA charity group as well.
My birthday is next month and so is my daughter’s. These needles would make a terrific gift for me…or for her.
I have been wanting those interchangeables forever.
As a newer knitter, I have been buying needles for each project that I start. A set of interchangeables would be great.
I’m really inspired by that charity knitting accomplishment too. I wonder how long it would take to match it if my group started now? hmmm
sweet prize:) sweet Knitty:))
so cool!
i would love these!!!
Awesome prize. I love Hiyahiya needles!
Love the proFISHent hat idea from K2tog!
This would be a dream to own and then I could share with my daughter!
What k2tog is doing is really cool! The needle set is too!
Pick me! Pick me! It’s my birthday on Monday and new needles would make me amazingly happy 🙂
For Socktober, I’m knitting Monkey by Cookie A. which is also from Knitty 🙂
These look amazing!
LOVE that wall of fish hats!!! And I’ve always wanted to try Hiya Hiya needles, so count me in.
Whoa my gosh! What a prize! I’ve got one pair of Hiya Hiya needles right now, and they’re pretty much the best thing ever.
What a great prize. I’ve been coveting a set of these.
Oh, I NEED these!
Hiya Hiya Bamboos!! I would so love to win this prize !
I have been hearing a lot about these needles lately…I would love the chance to try them out!
Woo! This is an awesome prize!
The hat project is a great idea, I am sure they kids will appreciate the fun and warm winter hats.
In my ever so picky search for the perfect interchangeable needles, Hiya Hiya seems to be the cream of the crop. What an awesomesauce prize!
*crosses her fingers and hopes*
Bamboo! I have a queued lace project that would love to be knit on these… 🙂
My Mom has a set an loves them.
Ok! Count me in!
I here these are the best needles for the price. I’d love to try them out.
Thank you for the giveaway!!
Oh wow, those needles would be amazing…
And I love the fish hat idea. It’s always great to see people supporting education!
With all my WIPs, they would be great. Then I can begin more!
What a great prize! I’m off to find that fish hat pattern!!

OOh, a needle give-away!
Oh, my. I would love to win the HiyaHiyaBambooInterchangeables. I was thinking about getting a set for my birthday this month, but do not think I have saved enough money.
I hadn’t plan on Socktobering, but I am knitting socks right now. I guess that means I am in on the game, too!
oh, nice!
Hi Kate,
That’s a great prize, and I’d love to be included in that draw! I have several sets of their metal needles and would love to try these out.
I’ve never commented on a knitty blog post before, in part because I’m never sure I ought to enter for contests as I’m in the UK… But this one is too good to not enter for, and feel free to bin the entry if the postage here isn’t OK!
I also thought the post was really interesting and it’s made me think I ought to knit more for charity rather than just for myself and deserving friends and family…
Hiya hiya there needles!
(Sorry, I haven’t had coffee yet)
I would love to win those knitting needle sets! Knitty is an excellent resource for patterns and information and better knitting needles would make it easier to knit all the patterns I want to make.
Happy knitting, Lee
Oh I’ve just been thinking that I need more than one set of circulars.
My Socktober socks are probably not going to be finished this month, but I have quite a few other projects on the needles.
Nothing on the needles. I’ve been in a knitting slump of late and these needles could be just the thing to get me motivated.
I would love to win; I’ve never used these needles and would like to try them.
Have always wanted to try interchangables and prefer circs to straights for everything. Would love to try these!
Bamboo interchangeables? Sounds amazing!
I would love to win this set. Thanks for the opportunity.
Hoping a little luck is due to come my way.
Great prize! And kudos to the fishy hat knitters – great community involvement, and warm and generous support can really go a long way to motivating a child to do well.
However, I do wonder about kids in that school who have genuine learning disabilities and who, with all the motivation and hard work in the world, could never score proficient on a math test. I am not suggesting that the fish hat knitters should do anything differently – it is good to motivate kids to success – I just wish, I guess, that there was a different rubric for kids with learning difficulties that allowed them to have their progress recognised too. Or perhaps there is? Is there a way for kids with special needs to score a proficient by adapting the test or the help they get with it?
A matter for the education people, not the knitters, but as a former teacher, I couldn’t help but think of those kids.
Wow! What a generous gift. Love the posts about the fish hats — having knit one myself. 🙂
With the upcoming winter I am knitting knee high socks for myself and my mum. Also I am working on a sleeveless sweater for a friend. The best alpaca I have ever worked with (Alta Moda Alpaca by Lana Grossa), it is so soft that you want to hug it 😉
Needles like those are excellent to work with, especially for sweaters and shawls.
Apart from those projects I recently was yarn bombing, I would love to do more of that. Curious about it? Take a peek on my site.
Have a nice day all. Ciao, Fleur
These look awesome! I’ll check them out even if i don’t win!!!
Love, love, love the fish hat idea! Wonderful thing that they are doing. Also love hiya hiya interchangeables – havn’t tried the bamboo tips yet and sure would love to!
Love the look of these.
I have one of their stainless steel needles and really like it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Ooh! I would a love this set! I’ve become addicted to circs!
Love the fish hat initiative!
Circs rule!
I have been wanting a set of the Hiya Hiyas!
What can I say? I can’t get enough knitting needles.
needle me!
Needles are always necessary!! The join is going out on a few of my circs right now … need more!
These look wonderful!
Would love the chance to win this set! Thanks for the great give-away!
I have HiyaHiya dpns and love them!
How awesome are the fish hat knitters??? Such a cool project.
The wall of fish hats is hilarious and inspiring all at the same time. That is a lot of love for those students. I hope many of them do well!
The needles look lovely, and I have heard so much about Hiya Hiya. Mehbeh…
I’ve heard great things about Hiya Hiya needles!
I’m in for this drawing. I like my Denises but I’d love to expand my circular options.
wow wow wow! I’d like to get a set like this one
Oh, I love Hiya Hiya!
I used to love metal needles, but the more I knit, the looser I get. I need wood for a little more friction! Thanks to Hiya Hiya!
Hiya Hiya makes the cutest needles 😀
What a wonderful Christmas present to give myself!! I’d love to have those needles. 🙂
That’s a lot of fish hats!
Bamboo needles are my favorite.
Would love to start a project on those!
Wow! What a generous giveaway.
Those needles are beautiful! I love bamboo.
For Socktober I’m going to learn how to knit two-at-a-time socks.
Thanks for the great giveaway. Count me in.
Ooh, interchangeable needles. I really want some, since no one seems to want to buy me the set I’ve had on my Amazon wish list for over a year.
I’ve always wanted an interchangeable set but can’t put it into the budget just yet, those look so perfect 🙂
I would love to win the needles.
You can never have too many needles!
I’ve never knitted with bamboo needles before. What a way that would be to start!
I heart Hiya Hiya.
The fish hat idea is genius!
Oooo, I do love me some Hiya Hiyas…
WOOT! Bamboo needles make me smile. That is an awesome prize!
oooo, what a great way to add quality wood needles to my arsenal.
Ooo, I’ve been wanting a set of these for so long! Please count me in.
I’ve just discovered how much I like hiya hiyas, I would love the chance to win such an amazing prize! Thank you for a great giveaway.
Also, 100,000 knitted items…that is amazing, so many people benefiting from the groups’ generosity!
Yes please.
Ooo pretty needles! Also, I can’t wait to read A Life in Stitches.
I could really use these !
WOW! What a fantastic giveaway! Thanks for having it. (Random: I’m currently knitting the Henry scarf from a back issue of Knitty. Very clever, that scarf.)
Great gift! Thank you knittyblog and Hiya Hiya.

I’m knitting Twisted for Socktober! They’ll probably be finished sometime this summer. I’m a sloooooow sock knitter.
Those needles are beautiful!
Thanks for the chance at those Hiya Hiyas – I’ve heard they’re smooth and pointy!
I’ve heard about these needles but haven’t gotten to try them yet.
What a great giveaway, I’ve been itching to try the bamboo Hiya Hiya as I love their metal needles!

Love the contest. Thanks, Hiya Hiya! Knitting bliss.
Needle me happy!

Those needles are beautiful, and such a generous give away.
The knitting group in Chesterfield County, Virginia should be so pleased with their accomplishment- that really is amazing.
The needles look lovely, thank you!
I would love to win the Hiya Hiya needles. The fish hats are great!
i’m needin’ those needles.

Thanks Hiya hiya for the awesome prize!
Love the needles! The fish hat project was a great idea. Kudos to all the charity knitters.
Thanks for the opportunity! What a great contest!
Oh, I love those Hiya hiya needles. I have a pair or two of the circs. and would love to try their interchangables.
There is so much charity work going on these days, and so much need for it. With a lot of bad news always on TV or in the papers, It’s nice to read about positive things happening.
I love the fish! What a great idea to provide incentive for excellency!
plus – I’d love to use the set of needles for my own charity projects.
🙂
The fish hats are fabulous! (And I love the pun.)
The needles are pretty great, too. 🙂
Good contest. I’ve actually not knit with bamboo needles yet.
Those are pretty awesome fish hats. 😀 Thanks for the lovely giveaway, too!
With Christmas coming, (only 80 days! yikes!) until that day, I’m stocking (no pun-really) up on quickie knit gift ideas. Thanks for all the Fish-(wink wink)
What an amazing giveaway!
What a great giveaway! Thanks
All the good works we knitters do!! Kudos! What an awesome giveaway! A needle for every project! WooHoo!
I have always wanted to try Hiya Hiya needles!
Wow, those needles would be amazing! I love using circulars for everything, but the ones I have are a mixture of thrifted and cheap ones. Some nice needles would be perfect!
As for socks, I’m knitting a pair each for my two boys from some hand-dyed yarn my mom gave me.
I want new needles.
The fish hat project is so great!
Thanks for such a generous gift!! =)
I love Hiya Hiya needles. I have a set of the steel interchangeables and would love to have the bamboo ones too. They are some of the best needles out there.
Just about all the needles you’d ever need, and great for traveling. Pick me!
It’s amazing how a few knitters can get together and make suck a difference with charity knitting. Good job!!!
I can’t tell which I like better the needles or the case 🙂
those needles look awesome.
thanks for this generous giveaway !
Hiya look great. Thanks for the donation and contest.
Have heard of the HiyaHiya interchangables. I have had experience with their finer circular needles for lace knitting. We in the lacing community really recommend them
A contest, wahoo! I’m working on my first pair of official socktober fest socks. Hoping to bang out at least 4 pair this month 🙂
Wow. That’s a very generous give-away. Sure, I wouldn’t say no. I don’t actually own any interchangeable needles and I’d love to give them a try.
oh wow … what a great giveaway! thanks!
I’m looking for a new set of interchangeable needles! I love working with bamboo needles. They just feel so nice. I’d love to win these!
Thanks for having so many great giveaways!
I love my Hiya Hiya bamboo circs and my steel tip interchangeables, so I have to imagine I’d love their bamboo interchageables equally as much!
Oh, what nice needles. My circular set is getting somewhat battered after years of use.
I would like to do more charity knitting but lately it seems like I always have a queue of gifts to knit. So I’ve been limited to the occasional preemie hat here and there, since they are easy to do quickly while in the middle of a larger project.
Entering the contest!
Congrats to that group! 100,000 is a LOT of charity knitting.
These needles look lovely. And I love that they go down to size 2s
That wall of fish hats has made my day! As has even the idea of the Hiya Hiya needles. Bamboo FTW! Good luck to all. 🙂
I’d love those needles – I’ve heard they’re great!
I’d love to try those needles, I’m always finding I don’t have the circulars I need.
I love the fish hats! Such creativity. As for the needles, I bought my first Hiya Hiya fixed circulars a few months ago, and I love them. The join is incredibly smooth. I’m also a fan of interchangeables, and would dearly love to try this set!
(Not sure if my previous post went through, and I got a message about the server not responding when I tried to submit it. The “older posts” link isn’t working, either, so I can’t check. Apologies if this is a repeat; it wasn’t by choice.)
Despite my ever-growing needle collection, I still come up short every now and then. And I don’t own a single interchangeable set yet! These would be great to test drive.
Love, love, love this prize!! The fish hats made me smile, too!
What a great idea with the fish hats.
I need to expand my circular collection. My current set doesn’t cover all of this.
Interchangeable circulars are my favorite needles. Love the versatility. It would great to get to try out Hiya Hiya’s version.
Thanks for sharing the knitting charity news, too! Love to hear about craftiness in the community.
I have a circular needle set, but it’s falling apart – my US 13 tip snapped off the screw tip of the cable midway through a blanket border of a bajillion stitches!
I love the range of sizes in those sets!
That fish project is amazing! Charity knitting is inspiring and shows how just a few people together can do such awesome things.
New needles are always awesome. Never enough.
Those needles are great!
I want to spend my knitting money on yarn, not needles! Pick me, pick me!
What great fish hats! Thank you for the giveaway!
I could definitely use a new set of interchangeable needles… particularly bamboo ones!
Desperately wanting the interchangeable needles!!!
Love bamboo needles – thanks for the contest.
Love all the fish hats. What a great way to celebrate the kids’ achievements!
i’m always looking for new and better needles! thanks for the contest!
oooo, bamboo needles are the best!
wow, that is a mega-give away. Thanks!
Charity knitters are such generous people. I really love the fish hat idea!
Love those needles – and the fish hats!
I have made one fish hat. I can’ imagine making 80! I’m sure the students think they are really cool though. I love hiya-hiya needles too. Their may favorite. It is cool that they come in bamboo now.
I don’t think I can ever have too many interchangeable sets! Besides, I am feeling very unlucky today–prove me wrong!
These are my favorite needles! Though because of monetary constraints I have not been able to replace all of my needles with them yet.
Need.Interchangeable.Needles.Bad.
Fishy! I should put that on the list of funny hats to knit for my husband.
Bamboo needles – I would love to try them. You could make that possible.
So many links to visit. Must be time for a morning tea break while I look at them all!
I would love to have these sets!
A good friend of my daughter’s went to Richmond High. She visited there during her high school years. She came home with eyes opened to the priveliges she enjoys at her high school.
My Denise interchangeables are in a sad state. These would be a nice replacement.
I love bamboo needles. I could definitely use a set.
The prefect Socktober give away. I have just taught myself toe up, two at a time sock creation and would love interchangeable bamboo needles.
I would love to win! Thanks!
Amazing! Thank you for the chance to win a great product!
Awesome giveaway, Count me in!
I love the fish-hat idea! Its a really touching gesture.
(I’d also love those interchangable needles…)
Wow! What a great giveaway. Thanks to Knitty and Hiya Hiya!
Ooooh! Thanks to you guys (and Hiya Hiya) for the giveaway!
I try to always have one project I’m working on that is for charity. Right now it’s an afghan for the Linus project.
What a great set of needles!
Oooh, I’ve been wanting to try these needles. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m part of a charity knitting group, but we haven’t given away even close to 100,000 yet. That’s a lot of stiches! I bet they’d go faster on some new needles. (hint, hint)
Wow! What an amazing giveaway!
The only thing that could beat that would be numerous stories about using knitting to inspire, encourage, teach, learn, and reward! And you did that too!!
Thak you!
Love all the fish hats! What a great idea. I would love to try a set of the Hiya Hiya Interchangeables.
I would love to give these to me daughter as a Christmas gift.
Awesome amount of hats! Didn’t realize the Hiya Hiyas were available in bamboo. 🙂
I’ve tried a few HiyaHiya needles and would certainly put a full set to great use!!
That is a lot of charity items. Awesome!
Pretty needles! *crosses fingers hopefully*
Also who knew that october was sock month? I simply must cast-on a pair to celebrate!
Ooooh. do want some hiya hiyas.
I find purchasing needles to be the most expensive part of knitting. I would cheer if I won this set! Thank you for the giveaway!
Oooh, what a swell giveaway! And yay for fish hats, and mythical math room. (And thanks for the sock nudge.)
Those needles are awesome.
Hiya Hiya Hello! This is looks like a fabulous giveaway. I really like that the VA volunteers kept track of the donations. This is an excellent motivator that I just might try with my knitting group!
wonderful giveaway!
*crossing my fingers*
Oh, I could SO use a set of interchangeables! Pick me, pick me!
Love those needles!
I really want this one.
Very local for me today. Hats off to the amazing people at K2tog (my favorite local yarn shop)for their amazing contributions to our community with their ProFISHent hat drive. I can’t wait to see the hats around town. And dear Rachael – she is such a doll. Once I started her first two novels, I simply could not put them down. I’m looking forward to more of her excellent stories and insights.
I really want a interchangeable needle set and was leaning towards the Hiya Hiya set. I couldn’t decide between the large or small. Please, please pick me!
Those HiyaHiya needles look great. I recently got one circular and it was very nice. I would love to win!
This would be amazing to win. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try these needles forever! My fingers are crossed!
My friend has Hiya Hiyas and they’re great. Also, I saw a new knitting book the other day that I thought you might like.. It was called the Knitter’s Life List. It was really interesting..I feel like it managed to encapsulate a lot of the things I’ve learned about knitting culture over the past few years.
Lovely, interchangeable cables. I have always dreamed of owning them but prefer to spend that much money in one whack on yarn. :>)
Thanks for the great contest!
Is it silly that I always get nervous about the skill testing question? I’ve been knitting for years, and I try new things, and I’m assuming it’s a basic question to weed out the non-knitters who just want to win a prize to resell it, but still… I hope I win, and I hope I’m up to the subsequent test. 🙂
Awesome giveaway – these are on my Christmas list!!
I was born in raised in Chesterfield County – so proud of From the Heart and their knitted contributions to charity!!
What a sweet prize! I would love to add bamboo to my collection!
Make it to be me please!
These are awesome needles, an amazing giveaway!
the fish hat idea is great!
These are such a fantastic giveaway–I’m sure every knitter wants them!
Ahh those needles look amazing! Also love the hats and their purpose!!
Yay, HiyaHiya! I’ll throw my name in!
Ooh, I’d love this prize, I’ve wanted a set of bamboo interchangeables for ages!
Bamboo needles are great–here’s throwing my hat into the ring!
Such wonderful needles! Such a beautiful case!!
yes please!
Oh yummy! I, too, reaaaallllly want this!
What a great giveaway! Would looooove to get my hands on those HiyaHiyas.
Thanks!
I wonder how much those fish hats will be appreciated. I do hope they inspire some young people to learn to knit…it’s great for the brain. Thanks for a super giveaway!
Oooh…I was just admiring my one Hiya Hiya circular needle and thinking it was time to upgrade to a whole set. This would be so cool…plus my 49th (really) birthday is next week!
Wow! Just found your site and look at this awesome giveaway!
What a cool give away! I hope they go to someone who will cherish them – like me.
I would love to try these needles. I wonder if they’re more commonly used in Europe because I’ve never seen them– and because people over there who use them really like them. Great prize!
would love to win this set!
Another great give-away!
Holy cow, that’d be great!
Thanks indeed to Hiya Hiya North America for a very generous prize.
Also thanks to everyone at Knitty for your generosity in feeding our knitting minds and fingers with great patterns and blog posts!
Moar needles? MOAR NEEDLES!
Seriously, we always need more needles in this house.
I’ve heard great things about hiya hiya needles. I would love to try them.
Interchangeable needles would be SO cool. Very useful. Downright wonderful.
Pick me 🙂
i love hiyahiya needles..yay!!
Hiya Hiya are my favorite needles. Love them!
I love all the fish hats and the group that knitted them for the kids! Great job!
I’ve been hearing a lot about the Hiya Hiya needles. Would love to score a set like this!
Would love to have some interchangeable needles! Also, thanks for the great story about the fish hats. It reminds me I need to make one.
I love the idea of giving away fish hats! Go math!
OMG, interchangeable needles set? yes please!
Size 2 interchangeable needles sound wondeful! What an awesome giveaway. And I just love the picture of all the fish hats!
Oooh, pretty pretty needles! I could never afford them myself!
mmm, this giveaway would save me from buying non-interchangeable needles below size 4 from KnitPicks. And they’re bamboo…love it! I need smaller circulars to make baby items for my first baby! *crosses fingers*
I have heard a lot of great things about these needle sets but I haven’t been able to try them yet! I would love to get them!
great giveaway!
Super cool giveaway.
Hiya Hiya Needles, how I covet you!
The fish hats are exactly what all the “small fry” on my Christmas knitting list are getting this year!
Oh! oh! oh!
(Translation: My, those needles are beautiful, and they look so useful, too. Bamboo is my favorite needle material – so comfortable to hold. I do so wish I could win these lovely sets. How generous of the Hiya Hiya folks to give them away!)
Woohoo! Needles! Want!
Ahem. Okay, got the greed out of my system. Thanks for the reminder that I really want to make that Fish Hat. It is so fun looking. 🙂
What a great prize!
Too bad I’m so far away from Kansas City… that mystical math room sounds fun.
So does the set of interchangeable needles! Oh random number generator, please pick me.
Those needles look wonderful! And i love the aquarium of fish hats.
Those needles look awesome, I’d love a chance to win them. Thanks!
Yay Socktober! Let the knitting begin!

I’d love to try out their interchangeables!
BOTH sizes of Hiya Hiya needles! Wow! Who wouldn’t love to have them. What a generous gift.
I loved reading about the fish hats. I grew up in the SFO Bay Area. Albany has always been a trouble spot, but these days there is a new attitude, a new kind of caring for each other.
What a fantastic give away!!!!!
I could use a set of these needles!
Oh, to win this set! That is the question…..
So much really interesting info and great links in todays post! Sure would like to win the giveaway too – my needle basket is a mess.
Love the fish hat idea. May have to get the knitting group where I teach to do the same thing. PS I want those needles!
What a great prize! People (usually store owners) often tell me that I would knit better and faster with newer needles.
I do love needles!
So many charitable knitters! (pretty shiny needles)
Next Wednesday is my birthday, so you really need to give these needles to me as my birthday present.
Wow! That’s a fantastic giveaway! I love Knitty!
That would make an awesome birthday gift!! I’ve been looking for a set of bamboo interchangeable needles. Count me in!!
Wow, beautiful needles! I would love to own a set!
Beautiful sets! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love Hiya Hiya and would be so happy to give them a home. I love the fish hats what a wonderful project!
Those interchangeables would be awesome!
Bamboo needles are the best!
I’ve been eyeing that set for a while! Great giveaway.
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to have these beautiful needles.
That wall of fish is amazing. And needles! Also so great.
I’ve always wanted an interchangable needle set! Count me in!
And now I’ve been reminded of the fish hat…and I think I need to make one!
Those fish hats should be photographed with the knitted reef!
Count me in! I love my Hiya Hiya circs, but haven’t tried the interchangeables.
Wow, I’d love to spend my knitting days using those interchangeable Hiya Hiya circulars! Pick me; pick me! Thanks for being Knitty. It is always fun to read.

Love the fish hats…..I plan on making them for both of my grandsons. Reminds me of that song my kids used to sing….
fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads….
fish heads, fish heads, eat them up….YUM!
The needle set would be awesome. I am always looking for more needles of certain sizes (like how do I use so many needles sized 2-5).
100,000 items to charities is huge. I don’t know if any of the knitting groups I’ve been a member of could come close! Kudos!
Socktober and I haven’t started any socks! You know what would help? Hiya Hiya needles in size 2!
You can’t see them, but there are three of my fish hats in the picture! Yay for K2Tog and yay for Knitty’s pattern!
Oh, and I’ve always wanted interchangeable needles.
OMG, I would so love the HiyaHiya set. I love their needles so much.
I knit on nothing but circulars and this giveaway is a dream! Pick me random number gods
Super cool giveaway. You can never have too many needles, right?
For some reason I don’t have a set of interchangeable needles in my stash. I think that needs to change.
MMMMmmmmmm… Bamboo!
The needle sets look absolutely stunning! Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
I.would.love.to.own.those.needles. Been looking at sets of interchangeable needles for a long time – I am so tired of knitting on cheap-o aluminum ones with those nylon wires that always get tangled up!
Could I win this, plz?
What a fabulous, valuable prize!
love the needles!
Love those hats! I could put those needles to good use.
Those sets look awesome! I love Bamboo.

These would be a great addition to my collection. Thanks for the giveaway!

Lovely set . . . have some of their other needles . . . sign me up!

Wow! Great prize! You can never have too many needles!
What a great combination…bamboo and interchangeable. Would love to try them.
It’s interesting to read how much knitting is changing lives through charitable donations and involvement in education. I was at the Contemporary Museum of Art in Chicago last week and found works of art composed of both knit and crochet.
Oooh. Needles. Not to have to wonder if I can cast on that project today or if I have to borrow or buy a new needle size. So awesome.
Also? I love the fish hats.
What a generous giveaway. Love the story about the fish hats.
awesome!!! I just started looking into interchangeable needles. I NEED a set!!!
Please count me in on your fab contest! What an awesome prize!
new needles rule!
When I first started knitting I couldn’t imagine needing so many needles… but now, I realize that I seriously do! How awesome would that set be!!!
Needles! Fish! What a great post!
Wow- I need this so I can knit a Fish Hat. How cool is that knitting Group? Great Job!
I just discovered the wonder of Hiya Hiya needles! Love them.
Wow-what a terrific giveaway. Thanks. Good luck to all, and especially to yours truly!
What a prize! I am dreaming of the wonderful items I can knit on these needles. Thank you, Hiya Hiya North America for the opportunity. I will be checking out your website today.
What a great prize! Would be perfect to start out a warm and cozy Socktober!
Wow, what a wonderful prize!
And yes, I’ve knit a fish hat too and love it!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Crazy mathematical knitting? Wonder what that involves…
That’s a great prize! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love HiyaHiya needles, and I love bamboo! The combination sounds amazing, thanks for the chance to win some!
I’ve been reading the comments, and since no one else seems to want the needles, I’d be glad to take them off your hands. Yeah, I know – Dream On, Kitten! What is Crazy Mathematical Knitting? How could they tease us like that?
I had no idea those bamboo interchangeables even existed. Awesome giveaway!
Yay for interchangeable needles and these look especially great!
A Life in Stitches — I’m excited to read this one…
Love Hiya Hiyas!
Awesome giveaway! I LOVE the fish hats!
Wow…they’ll have a real “school” of students.
Sorry! Couldn’t resist!
Yay for Socktober and Knitty contests! I just bought some spaarkly sock yarn, and I’m thinking of making a pair of Twisted.
oooh- so much cool stuff to read! and since all my needles are already in other UFOs it would be lovely to win a new set so i could start some more… 😉
What an amazing give away! THe fish hats are so cute
Great giveaway!
The fish hats scare me just a little when they’re not on someone’s head. Thank you!
The fish hats are a one of a kind!
I love that fish hat project. What a great way to reward students! And thanks for the awesome opportunity to win some interchangeable needles. It would be an awesome October birthday gift. Speaking of which, I should probably add it to my wishlist anyways 🙂
Seeing as I have a very busy month ahead, I have a very modest goal for Socktoberfest: weave in the ends of that pair of socks I finished knitting when it was too warm to wear socks (thus the motivation level to weave in the end being lower). As warm socks season is now back, those will be a welcome addition to my sock drawer without adding stress to my schedule. 🙂
Oooh love Hiya Hiya! Thank you for being so generous!
Fantastic prize offer!
What a fantastic prize!
Interchangables sound lovely; they’d make my sock experience much more enjoyable. I am undertaking a sock project or two this october and hoping that the mates come out the same size this time…
A school of fish for school kids–cool!
Another great prize! One can never have too many needles.
I’m pretty intrigued by Crazy Mathematical Knitting, I wish the website had a description of that!
Thanks Hiya Hiya!
I haven’t tried bamboo since I first discovered metal needles, but HiyaHiya might just convert me…
Interchangeable needles! How exciting.
i have been eyeballing that fish hat to knit for years! how cute! awesome generous giveaway!
Socktober? 😮 *googles*
The interchangeable needles would be great to take on vacation.
That is such a great giveaway. I would love to win!
What a wonderful combination of needles!
I’m definitely passing the idea of the Fish Hat incentive along to a few friends of mine-they work in inner-city schools and I think that this is a great way to motivate people! And, who knows, you might inspire them to learn a valuable and fun skill!
I’m in!
What a great prize. I love Hiya Hiya products.
What a great post!! An opportunity to win a great set of needles and the fun idea of knitting hats to offer incentive to students. I just love it!
I’m in for the needles and will definitely be knitting at least one fish hat for my local urchins.
Pick me!
Oooh! I LOVE the Hiya-hiya needles!!
What an awesome collection of fish hats! I might just have to break down and make myself one. Maybe it will help me remember some of the math I seem to have forgotten.
And those needles – please throw my name into the (figurative) hat. One can never have enough needles!
Bamboo interchangeable needles, how great!
Love bamboo needles–I won’t go back to anything else!
These interchangeable needles look absolutely beautiful! I would feel so lucky to add them to my needle collection.
What a wonderful opportunity. Pick me pretty please!
uh-oh, a skill-testing question? Bring it on! 🙂
I would love to try the Hiya Hiya set!
Whoa, Hiya’s are awesome! I have a metal set and love ’em.
And fish hats for math students – what a great project!
I want the needles! I think one cannot have enough interchangeables. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
a great October start to knitting – lovely needles!
Way to go HiyaHiya, that is an awesome prize and I agree with everyone that says you can’t have too many needles. I keep finding myself needle short!
Awesome! And the fish hats are an amazing program, yay knitters!
I’ve heard such great things about the hiya hiyas, but have never had the chance to try them. Fingers crossed!
Love the proFISHent hats. That cracks me up.
Also, love the needles.
Needles!
I would love a set of interchangeable needles. Have slowly added some to my collection but a full set of large and small would be great.
Mathematical knitting and fish hats all in one post?! You guys are amazing! 😀
Please let me be the winner – I’m crazy about knitting.
Those fish hats are awesome! So are the needles.
Love my one set of hiya hiya needles….maybe I’ll get some more….
You’ve gotta love mathematical knitting.
I love the fish hats! What a lovely way to encourage kids!
Oh, please, we MUST have a picture of the proFISHent kids wearing their hats!! (And yes, of course I’d love to win those needles.)
I would be so happy to win these needles!
Woo hoo, hiya hiya!!
Who can ever have enough knitting needles? I look forward to the WWW post every week. Always so many interesting tidbits.

Socktober eh? Guess now would be a good time to learn how to knit socks.
Those needles would be just what I need to fill some holes in my needle collection.
I love this set; it’s just what I need!
I love the fish hats, so I hope to have time to knit one of thise this year.
I really love Hiya Hiya needles. Would just love to have these sets.
Interchangeable needles that go down to a size 2! Want! (I’ve only seen down to a size 4 so far.)
Holy cow, holy cow, I NEED this set! I’ve had my eye on it for ages but couldn’t justify buying a set for myself.
What a wonderful prize for a lucky someone to win! Thanks Hiya Hiya.
I love the photo of all the fish hats. What fun they must have had knitting them…perhaps on HiyaHiya needles? 🙂
I love Hiya Hiya Bamboo needles.
Hiya Hiya in bamboo? Swoon!
Yeah! Pick me, pick me! I would LOVE the prize.
That needle set looks amazing…I love bamboo!
What a great prize! Thanks Hiya Hiya (and Knitty)!
WOW that is quite the prize! I would love to be the (amazed and grateful) recipient!
Pretty-pretty.
Interchangables that go down to a 2? Sign me up!!
Love those needles!
I love the fish hats and where they’re going. Such an awesome idea!
Putting in my comment for a chance. I’ve never tried Hiya Hiyas and would love to. With four knitters in the house, there are never enough needles.
Those fish hats are awesome!
Thanks Hiya Hiya, great giveaway!
Thanks for a chance to win something cool and practical!
Great giveaway!
I’m a young knitter and I thinks it’s awesome that your giving away needles,and I could really use some needles. 🙂
So many needles… I could use some more needles…
Interchangeable needles are the most fun of all the knitting tools. I could tell you a story about an old set of Denises and how they were made into robots by my five-year-old. But I guess I already have, basically.
Interchangeable needles would be so neat to try out!
I’ve never tried wooden needles, these look like a great place to start!
I love knitting with bamboo.
But, what I really want to say is the fish hats are SO CUTE!
Could REALLY use those interchangeables …. love reading “knitty blog”!
Happy knittin’
Mary G.
Great giveaway! I’m sure my collection needs some Hiya Hiya needles :D.
I wanna win – please pick me. now that it’s been said… I am knitting a HUGE pair of socks for my husband. husbands have big feet! I am also very intrigued by the fish hats and think that is a FABULOUS idea! Good job
i love my HiyaHiya dpns and am in need of inter-changeables…just don’t have the $$ to “try” them. Thanks for the chance HiyaHiya and Knitty.
This prize fills me with the most lust I have yet felt for any one Knitty givaway!
those needles might just jump start my knitting mojo!
Pretty Bag – great needles… so WANT!
Oh yeah- wooden interchangeable circs- I’m so wanting those. Hats off to all the knitters who donate to those who need.
Oooh, I’d love to win these needles. Thanks for the contest!
I hope I win!
Oh, I just realized I haven’t done anything Socktober-y yet. Maybe just using sock yarn counts. 🙂
Wow, I would LOVE to win these needles! I’ve never used interchangeable needles before.
Must have those needles! The fish hats are really cute.
Love all the fish hats. Would page to see more photos of them.
I would love the needles. Hope I win them.
That fish hat has been sitting in my queue for a while, and I think I need to check that off the list. Those are some awesome looking fish hats on the wall, and what a great cause as well. =)
Great giveaway. I love the HiyaHiya needles. The fish hata are really cute.
Maybe it being Socktober is why I bought sock yarn on Saturday. Somehow, part of me just knew.
Those interchangeable needles are great!
For Socktober, I just finished the Broad Ripple socks in Crystal Palace Bamboo peapod and started a “zombie” sock pattern from ravelry.
oooh, bamboo needles, my fave! count me in!!

Very nice giveaway. I would love to have a complete set.
I would love a set of those needles…
I’d love those needles. My Christmas present is going to be the master hand knitters program so they would get lots of use.
The story of the fish hats appealed to the math nerd and the punster in me…and then there was news of Crazy Mathematical Knitting in the Mystical Math Room. Great stories and great blog post!
Love the bamboo needles. My dad just sent me the article about the chesterfield knitters as it was in their local paper.
Love me some Hiya Hiya needles!
What a fabulous way to encourage the students to do their best and improve. If you like a funny fish hat, and what kid wouldn’t! The display is amazing and thank you for sharing and promoting what the group is striving for – educating our youth!
Love the fish hats and the awesomeness of knitting for others.
Kudos K2!!
A complete needle set is something I have always thought I should get myself but probably never will…..
NEEDLES for me? Yes please!!!
What a generous giveaway! (The fish hats are awesome, too!)
Wonderful giveaway…I would love to win these needles, especially the small size interchangeables.
Great blog today about the fish hats, what an awesome idea to help the young people of this school. Way to go!!! (knitters and students)
100,000 donated items to charity in 10 years??? LOVE it! Way to go Chesterfield Count Virginia! Now, can someone explain to me what Crazy Mathematical Knitting is?
Knitting needles!!! you can never have enough, especially when they’re of such good quality like those.
Wow, well done k2tog – an achievement to be proud of, to be sure!
Socktober rocks! I’m knitting universal toe-up socks for my new walking socks, then I’m going to attempt either Double Helix or Skew because they look cool (and I have Wollmeise that is screaming to be played with).
Oh, and Hiya Hiyas would be lovely to work with 😉
I am finishing up the 3rd pair of socks for my 3 grands. Will then make some booties. I’m hoping to get a pair of alpaca socks knit for myself because Accu=weather is predicting an unusually cold & snowy winter for Chicago this year. Alpaca socks are so warm & soft.
Can always use more needles!
Would love to have a sent of these needles.
Anyone know if they will be posting photos/instructions for their Mathematical Knitting? Kansas City is too far of a drive for me
Bamboo is my favorite type of needle, and I’ve been thinking about a bamboo set of interchangeables for awhile.
Wonderful giveaway! I love bamboo needles!
another great contest! my fingers are eternally crossed 🙂
I could use more needles.
OOHH Please, I want to win this!
I’ve got some toe ups in DK and some cuff downs in worsted going for Socktober, and a friend of mine has hinted she wants some knee highs for Christmas. Work work work. 😉
I love the fish hats! THose are great to make. Also, nice needles.
I kneed it.
I really need to figure out if someone in my life is worthy of a fish hat. Maybe me?
There is no such thing as too many needles!
I have been using interchangable circular needles for years.
I have several worn out pair and would gladly use the set being offered in the contest.
What kind of question will you ask?
It’s nice to see K2Tog featured here–they’re my LYS!

Hiya Bamboo Interchangeable Needles are on my wish list! I love Hiya needles, I have a circular needle from them, that I can’t stop using.
The fish hats are such a wonderful idea for encouraging kids! It’s lovely that people are trying to help them out.
After seven years as a knitter I have yet to own a set of interchangeables. I knit almost exclusively with bamboo, so these look great!

Ooohh, I LOVE that wall of Fish Hats almost as much as I love a good giveaway! Count me in! 🙂
Does anyone know whether the security folks at the airport can detect bamboo needles like they can stainless?
Great looking needle set.
Interchangeables! I dream about them at night…
I’m just learning to knit, so I don’t know how I’ll do on the skill-testing question, but I’m eager to try!
These would be fabulous!
Love them!
Practical and so pretty too! And I love all the fish.
Ooh la la! I don’t even own a set of interchangeables! How schmexy!
Beautiful needles make for beautiful knitting!
Cool thanks for the chance.
If you had this set of needles, would you need to buy more? Of course!!
Great needle sets! I just finished one pomotomus sock, one more to go.

I love my metal Hiya Hiya DPNs…I bet that set is fab!
Those needles look wonderful. And I can’t find half of mine which are probably buried in UFOs somewhere. So winning them would be timely. (And I promise not to hide them on myself.)
Those needles sound great and I would put them to good use.
Very exciting, Hiya Hiya makes a nice product.
I need a new needle set like I need air!!
I would love to knit with those needles. Thanks, HiyaHiya and Knitty! (Pick me!)
Oh, I love Hiya Hiya needles!! Hope to win this one. Thanks!
Love the fish hats, and what a wonderful idea, too!
Beautiful Needles from a Beautiful Site.
Wow. Drooling over the needles.
Great for the Richmond High students! Having lived very close, they can use the encouragement.
And I always had Science Bowl and Mathletes at Rockhurst. Might need to cruise by and check that out. Even though the Jesuits scared the bejeesus out of me.
What wonderful needles!
I love the fish hats. What a wonderful idea and bit of cheering for the students. Sign me up to try out the Hiya-Hiyas please!
Because one can never have too many needles. Maybe one day they could have interchangeable crochet hooks, too? Bamboo is my favorite to work with. Nice and ‘grippy’
My son proudly wears his fish hat all the time! Maybe with new needles, I can make him a different colored one!
Hiya, Hiya! Pick me!
Wow, what a wonderful giveaway, thank you to Hiya-Hiya! And I love those fish hats, nice idea.
What a great giveaway!
Would love to see a group photo of kids in fish hats! Love the needles, too. Will I get to say Hi, Hiya?

If I happen to win the giveaway, I will give the needles to my dear friend, since I already have my knit picks options, but she does not have a set! : )
Thank you, Hiya Hiya. Fabulous!
I’m still not very good at knitting, let alone answering questions about it, but I’d love to try & win a set of Hiya Hiya needles!
Love bamboo needles!
There are never too many knitting needles in the world. I really need some circular ones as I am sadly lacking in this area. Intrigued by the crazy mathematical knitting (I am a mathematician in my day job).
Definitely an awesome giveaway!
Another awesome giveaway – yay Knitty and Hiya Hiya!
So excited about the needles!
Hiya hiya! Waving at you here from Oz! (where the bamboo needles would get not only a warm welcome, but a hot place to live)
So cool about the fish hats… and the needles aren’t bad, either! 🙂
I love that fish hat project!
I love interchangeable needles.
Oh, I love my HiyaHiya needles! Especially my tiny 9″ ones! Thanks!
Love those hats and would love the needles, too!
I’ve never tried interchangeable needles, but they seem like such a great idea. Just the fact of not having to guess whether I have the right size would be amazing.
I heart interchangeable needles! 🙂
Interchangeable needles are the best thing since sliced bread. Really.
Would love interchangeable needles! Pick me! (please?)
Wow! Interchangeable needles for the win!
I would love to have more bamboo needles in my life!
I would love to try interchangeable needles. Cool fish hats – what a fun charity project!
I didn’t know interchangeable needles came that small!
Hiya hiya, my my…send those maya waya…
I’ve been wanting these!!
My wife would really like this!
I would love to win those nice needles. I have Addi Clicks and I’m sorry to say, they keep coming disconnected. Yes,I DO tighten them and they DO lock. But it’s a twist lock and as I knit, they work loose. I don’t think the Hiya Hiyas can do that as they lock tightener.
That IS a lot of fish!
Nice swag this week!
would love to win the needles, but the odds against it are pretty high!
Nice needles!
What a great prize! And what fun fish for a great cause. I had to go back and take a look at the pattern again.
I love the fish hats!
I love my Hiya Hiya DPN’s and I’m excited about their interchangeable needles!
I would love to win this needle set.
Those needles would be so wonderful, I could sure put them to good use!
Someday, I’m going to win one of these contests. I’d really like to win this one!!!
Beautiful!
This is a great giveaway!
I’m knitting a sweater this Socktober. Going against the mold, whoo. 😛
Those needles look amazing!!! I want them!
love, love those needles!! Plus, Stitches in Time looks really interesting.
Hats are fun. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE my stainless steel Hiya Hiya interchangeables. I would love to try the bamboo ones!
Oh…. I love bamboo needles…. I would so love this set…. please pick me…. 😉
Oooh, I don’t have a set of those yet!
I’ve always admired interchangable needles
LOOOVE the Fish hats! My grand-nephews will love them and so will the little girl across the street, and, oh, ME!
Oh, and the needles? Yeah, I could use a set: I have three wires in my current set and one is broken and the other two are in use, so I need a new set so I make these hats!
I heart hiya hiya
I love interchangeble needles!!! I’ve been wanting Hiya Hiya. BTW, your mother’s jewelry samples next to the blog show that weird skeleton skull. That seems to be good for this month! Magpie27
I’d love to know what kind of knitting is happening in the math room.
what a wonderful offering!
Love knitting with bamboo needles and winning the Hiya Hiya Bamboo Interchangeable Needles would make my day!!
Crazy math knitting? Sounds crazy awesome!
those needles would certainly come in handy knitting some sockobeter socks!
I just discovered Hiya Hiya — I would be awestruck to win some.
Wow, those needles look great! I think those fish hats are great too….
Lovely contest!
What a generous contest prize! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity.
The fish project is amazing! May have to do a series for a soon-to-be baby in the same vein…and what better way to knit up a set of hats than with circular Hiya Hiyas. 😉
Love the fish hats!
Here’s my comment and hope to win. Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
I really like the fish hats! I am nearly finished with my first, it’s such a great way to use up stashed scraps. The hats on the wall are just awesome, and giving them to schoolkids as a reward for doing well in school is great, too.
I would take good care of these needles if they landed with me, promise !
Please enter me into the contest.
The needle set looks amazing.
I love that the fish hats are encouraging kids. They are one of my favorite patterns.
We love you too!
I am an avid knitter in need of more needles.
On another note those fish hats are adorable.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Those fish hats are amazing and so bright. Also the needles would be great to get me started on my Soctober socks.
what a wonderful way to use fish hats
I could always use more needles.
Oh dear, the fish! The fish! I wonder what the students’ reaction will be… 😀
Also thanks for another generous giveaway. I guess there’s no one who would say no to more needles, right?
Those fish hats are lovely! What a great idea.
“ProFISHent�? Uughhhhh.
Still, anything to support mathematical skill is awesome in my book 🙂
wow, i had no idea there were interchangeable needles that go as small as sz.2! very cool. and i love the fish hats as well!
I hope those knitters have to make a fish hat for EVERY kid! That would be soooo great!
Lauren

I’d love to be entered in the draw for those needles. I think it’s so cool that people are willing to knit fish hats for kids as an incentive. I also find it pretty cool that the kids think the fish hats are an incentive.
