Just got back from The Atlantic Providences and saw some lace knit on finer
needles. ( Do not ask how fine, they were hand made and way, way, too fine.
That lady had way too much time on her hands. Let's put it this way, now
that she has a knitting shop, she wants $300 for a couple of square inches
of that super fine lace she made years ago.

But enough of the stories of Baron Munchousen. The most amazing thing that
I saw was the Belfast Mini Mill. It was wonderful.

Then this shop keeper on Cape Breton, managed to swear me into promising to
knit my wife (an Aran) sweater in August. I think she was trying to sell me
yarn, which she sells at twice the mill price. Snooty lace maker above sells
the same yarn for 3 times the mill price. But I fooled them both! We went
to PEI and I bought dyed 2-ply woolen spun yarn for 4 sweaters, plus yarn
for matching hats, mittens, socks, plus a pile of natural creams and grays
for less than $100 US.

Oh, yes they do mail order. The professional knitters around there use a lot
of this yarn. I have been wearing socks from this yarn for the last 10 days
, and it is not bad stuff. More on this later! I will give you the details
when I lay out the issues.

...Addi needles for lace? I thought I saw a mention of it but can't find
it (that may of course be due to the migraine drugs). I ask because I
think I mentioned trying to make a scarf with some beautiful two-ply
cashmere laceweight that is slack-twisted enough that no matter what
needles I use, I either can't get the point into the stitch or the needle
splits the yarn at every stitch. Is there an Addi type of needle
especially for lace? Help! At this rate I'll die of old age before I
finish that scarf.
