The Lacis site

For Nancy (no-reply), the sit on hoop is made by Lacis, available on many websites and also Amazon.
 
The reviews are not 5 star, but I haven't had an issue when used properly and tightened for stability.  The 12" and 14" additional hoops are available through Lacis's site.
 
I did not realize this company offers many items for embroidery and even acid free storage boxes for conservation, all sorts of tools, some types of linens, more goodies to peruse.  The Little Girl sewing and yarn work books, Mary Francis items/books, plus an odd selection of old book reprints.  I live under the rock adjacent to Lauren's (mine is bigger), and find these offers amusing and interesting.  Here's a few titles...
A Brief History Of Witchcraft (1867)
A Word To Women (1898)
American Home Cook Book (1854)
Christmas Entertainments [1740]
Christopher Cricket On Cats
Manners For Men (1897)
 
New to me, may be good for punch needle?  A wrist ball holder for spools.  Lots of goodies under Fancy Tools, plus sterling thimbles and cases, chatelaine items, tools of all sorts, probably what you see in larger needlework shops.  The disappointment is the size and or lack of photos for many items.
There's a lot of headings to click on here and I'm enjoying viewing the offers.  I'll hold up this rock as long as I can.  Sometimes, being oblivious is a good thing, as what is old hat to many is new born to rock dwellers.  Never bored, always something to learn and discover.  Rock on.
 
Enjoy your weekend!

Believe me, being under a rock is a good place to be these days. Hope the kitties are bonding!

OK, so I'm behind. I'm still stuck on the gloves used for fur. Those are just regular gloves one uses for washing dishes and stuff??? Wow!

Thanks for your points on the hoop. I aim to try one!

Thank you for the reminder about Lacis. I think. I've now spent quite a while reacquainting myself with what they carry, and making a wish list. And thanks for the tip about using regular house cleaning gloves for removing the fur. Now I can clean up and find new homes for a couple of the "miracle" de-furring gadgets I fell for.

Marly: I had a sit on frame different from yours, I did like it till I broke it.
I am so interested in the yarn bracelet, very interesting.
