I figure it keeps my obsession to a minimum. Maybe? I rarely use straight needles either they are so cumbersome. By the way my kids love the cookie recipes.

I was just talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and was asking again if she still had all her knitting supplies, cos she got rid of a lot of it when Dad died. She doesn't have any of her needles etc :( She taught me to knit with straight long needles, and it's only in the past year that I've tried circular and dpn's. So I have quite a few straights, but also got the Knitpicks Options for Christmas.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456546112499189990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-20910738870036002582008-02-29T09:31:00.000-05:002008-02-29T09:31:00.000-05:00Oh I love your needles!
