Knitting in the dark!

Georgia wrote: Dang! I could so use those--except that I never knit with SPNs. If you painted your dpns with blow-in-the-dark paint, and charged it up for several hours during the day (or with a light on), you could probably knit in the dark for two or three hours before they faded entirely. That wouldn't be much use at 2 AM if you turned the lights out at 9 PM, but it could get you through a dull movie. =Tamar |

Now that WOULD be handy.... I saw a pair that had a ruler printed on them... Yes, I was tempted, especially since they were nice and long (single points only, that I saw, though). But wouldn't it be nice to have a talking read-out? =Tamar |

I've a whole line of them, my own little invention..... My now deceased chemist friend helped me out, I've been using mine for about two years. I've circs, dpns and a couple of straights....

Knitting in the dark!
I want needles that obey me!
When I tell them to "Shut!" I want them to be quite. I do not care what other tricks they can do. I hate all the beeps my computer makes when I do something different and it thinks that I have made a mistake. Then, it beeps at me when I shut down its sound system. I do not need needles that talk. I do not knit at the recommended gauge, and I do not want to be told over and over that I am knitting too tight. I want needles that do their job without *talking* back at me! : ) If I wanted to do standard knitting, then I would get a "sweater machine." Now, if I had a sweater machine, I would not mind if it was a regular little chatter box of beeps and alarms. I would hook it up to my computer and they could send alarms back and forth until they were both scared out of their wits. Aaron "Richard Eney" wrote in message ... In article . ca, David R.

Oh, I didn't mean the recommended gauge; I want them to tell me the gauge I am actually getting while I knit! But yes, an on/off switch would be vitally important. A continual repetition even of something useful would be annoying. It would also eliminate knitting at meetings, lectures, and so on. =Tamar |
