Blogger, for whatever reason in its pointy little programing that substitutes for a mind had locked me out. Not just of this blog, but of the other two KAL in which I am participating. I was caught in some infinite do-loop where it wanted me to upgrade this blog [and me?] to blogger2.
This blog, from the looks of the URL is already there. Whatever.
Knitting
I have finished up the mate for each of two orphan socks and started a sock-of-the-month from one of those I joined. I am not terribly thrilled with either the yarn or the pattern. Pix are here under 27 March.
I am much happier with the baby sweater. At least it is nice yarn, the stripes show progress and it has a nice hand.
Needles and Things
I have one set of put together needles, I almost never use it for two reasons. The first is that it does not have tiny needles and most of what I do requires 4,0 mm or smallter. The second is that I just don't find the cables all that flexible.
I mostly like hardwood needles (rosewood and ebony). With the fortune of living in Germany for a lot of years, I am paying a lot less than all of you (about half) so that I have been able to build up my collection over the years.
How about something as a group project for May - only something smaller......

Yay Your back...so glad it worked!
Glad to see you back Holly!!
You are SO LUCKY to be able to get such fabulous needles for a reasonable price. I usually knit with smaller needles too, so I never really contemplated the detachable ones. The last time (a year ago) that I priced rosewood needles, they were over $30 CAD! EEEK Yup, they stayed in the store.
