to me they look more like Fireflies mirjam link.net wrote: It's a reference to the Jedi Knights from the Star Wars series of movies. They used "light sabers" -- sort of a magical sword that looked a little like a big glow-in-the-dark knitting needle. |

For a mere $15.95, you can own a pair of plastic needles (sizes 6, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13, or 15), 18 inches long, with LED tips that use G3-A batteries to make them glow! I just saw these yesterday on the Clover website. I was rather stunned for a while - I just can't imagine why I'd (or anybody) would want lighted knitting needles. Very odd. : ) |

Heh heh...oh yes. Does anyone else do what I have been trying to stop
myself from doing when knitting in the round w/DPNs? You end up holding both a full needle and the newly emptied needle in your left hand, grab the end of what you are positive is the newly emptied one, yank it out of your left hand with a flourish, and find that you have two empty needles, and a handful of dropped stitches? dawn wrote: I, too saw the light needle, I can see it all now, Ican see the stich but not the pattern, I move to needle to read the pattern, sooooooooooooomany stitches sliding off the needle, I know this could happen to me LOL spampot wrote: Anyone here get The Stitchery catalogue?

Oh! so all the time, so much so that I stopped using dpns & started knitting
tubes of any kind either on 2 circulars or Magic Loop. So much less easy to drop, pull off stitches or lose needles (which is a favourite pastime!)

You know, I tried casting on that Lithuanian sock (44 sts) with two
circs and just could not get it to the point where I could join it into a circle; 44 sts was just too little to hold on the needle part of the circs. I probably wasn't doing it right, but I happened across a set of DPNs of the right size & switched to them. That sock requires 4, not 5 DPNs, so that the top of the sock and the gusset parts are on separate needles, which makes it easier to keep track of the color pattern, but you have to be extra careful with that triangle shape to tighten the sts where the knitting goes from one needle to the next.

Speaking from UK, where almost all dpns come in sets of 4, I've found that
I'm quite likely to have the stitches crammed on to the needles and lose them off the end, and of course, I frequently grab the wrong one as Spampot said. I'd do pretty much anything to avoid that!! Oh and I find the "ladders" are easier to avoid with 2 circs or ML Love & higs Christine "spampot" wrote in message ...
