New Needles

Thursday, May 28, 2009
There are so many times when I'm working on a custom order and have a lull. Meaning, I'm waiting for the customer's yarn to arrive, or I'm still working out the details of the order with the customer. In the mean time, I'd like to start a pair of shorties for one of my LO's (little ones).
I finally bit the bullet and ordered some more needles.
I work with circular needles. For everything. Unless it's a short enough piece to work on 6-8" DPN's, that is. I have the Boye interchangeable needle set and it's done me well for a few years now. I don't like that I have to screw the tips back on constantly while knitting, but that action has become a habit now. So I do it whether or not it's needed.
I want the Knitpicks Harmony wood set, but at $75, that's just too large of a pill for me to swallow. I rarely spend that kind of money on myself. So I ordered a few of their harmony wood fixed circular needles.
Now I'll be able to start my own projects and put them aside when I need to work on a custom.
Yay!!!
