My Precious

In tribute to my friend, Andree, I am calling these "the knitting needles fired in the pits of Mordor." The Kollage double-pointed needles are amazing. I got 2 new sets today from Paradise Fibers. I love them all but really enjoy the 5".

Using Double Pointed Needles

I found a great tutorial on Purl Soho on using double-pointed needles.  The pictures are great and it covers everything I did mention and everything I wanted to mention Lesson 1 at sock knitting circle.

Look for a discussion of cast-ons next week.
