Alexis Mantione

I developed My Two Ladies Adjustable Knitting Needles out of pure frustration while working on a big, bulky blanket with friends.  It was painful and heavy, making knitting for long stretches of time impossible.

After creating the adjustable needles I discovered that I could knit for hours without strain and pain on my hands and wrists.   Ironically, after the needles were invented, I had a serious accident requiring surgery and rehab, and couldn’t knit at all for over a year. A tool that was born out of frustration would ultimately become a necessity for me, which helped me to appreciate the value and impact of my invention more than ever.  Fast forward to today, and the My Two Ladies® Patented Premium Knitting Needle System is available for all to enjoy, along a growing line of hand healthy fiber art tools and accessories. They are beautiful, functional, luxurious, and oh so gentle on YOU and your body.  I sincerely hope My Two Ladies® premium products bring as much joy to you as they do to me.
