i’ve only knitted once with a circular needle, and it was a truly horrific experience. the tips were plastic (shudder - and nasty plastic at that) and the stitches snagged every time on the join (ouch). but i hear of so many people who only knit with circs, especially in the states, i figured it must be worth eventually giving it another go, with a decent set of needles.

i have visions of the kidsilk scarf in lengthwise stripes (as well as thinking baby blankets lately too) and i think it may take some experimentation to get the right needle size. yeah, so i can swatch on straights but i’m intrigued by the knitpicks interchangeables i’ve heard such good things about and i’m currently flush

so there’s me totally psyched up to treat myself and then i find they don’t ship internationally how stone age is that?

not fair (pouts and stamps feet)
