What kind of store sells knitting needles?

not wal-art, or other chain, or a knitting/sewing store. but would there be another random store that sells knitting needles? (i.e: a convenience store (not saying they do), etc...)

1. You pretty much answered your own question. Walmart, AC Moore, Michaels, Hobby Lobby.... or any local yarn shop... I don't know of any other store unless you go to a hardware store, buy some wood and carve your own...
2. you can get them at hobby lobby
3. Tuesday Morning usually carries a selection in their craft items. I've been lucky enough to get some great yarn at an amazing price, also needles, notions, and an odd book or two. I don't always find something, but enough to the point that when I'm close I pop my head in and look. I go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's, Wal-Mart, and Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts. I tend to look at their clearance items a lot. It's not that I won't buy needles at regular price, but I just seem to find so much on clearance that I often don't have to look any further. This has been a great way for me to shop for knitting and has helped me decide what I like and what I don't. There are so many different types of needles, selecting a favorite is a challenge, and different needles are better for different projects. Now that I know what I prefer, I can buy what I like without breaking the bank.
4. You can find really good deals on knitting needles on www.ebay.com
5. If your town has any thrift stores or resale stores try them. Some times people will donate their used needles to the Goodwill, ARC, and Saver Stores. I happen to find several different sizes at some of our thrift stores and it helps to benefit some of the other organizations here in our town too.
6. A good bargain on bamboo knitting needles of all sizes and types can be found at www.sevenyaks.etsy.com
