I will splurge on knitting needles and only use addi Turbos. They're fast and slick and make a satisfying click-click noise. I used a gift card to buy a set of addi Clicks (their version of the interchangable thing) and I like the flexibility but need to buy more tips. I tend to use a lot of 16" needles, so I've bought a bunch of those in sizes 6-15. I knit tight, so I usually have to go up a few sizes to get gauge.
I love sock yarn but get impatient knitting socks, so I use it for lacy scarves or shawls.
Hey what sizes do the addi lace needles run in?
I'm knitting a shawl on sixes - currently only at the very beginning so I'm using straights but will be switching to circs once I'm further along.
I am not sure because I've never used the lace needles. I have only used the regular Turbos.
I would like to thank everyone who purchased episode 6 of Drive. Today, I received my very first residual check.
Because of you, I can now buy another latte and will still have four cents left over. Which I may frame.
Man, that strike sure worked!
Aww, I know a latte is pretty puny, but I'm still excited, proud, and happy for Kristen.
The yum and caffeine combo of a good latte is not a little thing. Congrats, Kristen!
Also, Drive isn't available on DVD, is it? It's just streaming, right?
Hee. I am proud of our Kristen too. I wish it had gone longer (for us, too) but I am proud nonetheless.
Well I did make it to the yarn store. I was greeted by a very nice lady and her elderly student. (They teach!) It is a lovely store.
I bought size 8 bamboo circular needles, cream, black, and yellow worsted weight (is that what I mean?) wool/acrylic for the Penguins scarf and black and red cotton for the dishcloths. 32 bucks for the lot.
The nice lady tells me I should bring all my projects on the train so I can switch when I get bored. Hee. Dunno, that would mean another bag. Anyway, a good store.
cream, black, and yellow worsted weight (is that what I mean?)
Probably, judging by the size needles you bought and how it's usually worsted (or bulky) for non-lacy scarves.
