I'm a bamboo needle, according to the quiz, but when I use my Addis, I fly. Infact, I'm changing most of my needles, these next two months, to Addi's. No more frustration,a nd more needles to knit socks with. Knitting garments and such are such fun, why be frustrated with cheap needles? Another brand, which I love, are Balene. I have a circular Balen, size 5, and some sized 7  straight.I find patterns calling for size 8 circular, and I'm not wasting my money, I'll just get the size 8 circs when the time comes, and when I see them. I guess to say,I prefer size 7, I learned to knit, (last year about this time), on size 8's.

   I recieved word, today, from a local yarn shop, that the price of Addi's keep inching upwards. All I have to have are a size 8. I have 0-1-3-4-5 and a pair of 11's on order, cause I'm having troubles with the 11 bamboos, which I love. It's for a poncho made with LIon's brand suede. The pattern, is actually a lace knitting pattern, but I was already making it, before I started this blog. The sued looks cool-it looks like leather lace.
