When I started knitting I bought a set of Denise Interchangable Needles because I didn’t want to have to buy a new set of needles for every project. But recently I was going to start working on a hat for a friend and I couldn’t find one of my 10.5 tips. Oy. So I decided to by a 10.5 Addi Turbo Circular. I make a ton of hats on 10.5 so I figured it would get good use.

Good lord..knitting on those is like butter. I still like my Denise’s and will use them but if I’m sure to use a certain needle size a lot I will probably pick up a set of Addi Turbos.

On a side note it’s really annoying to me that Patricia’s Yarns charges over list price for stuff. Everywhere else I looked they were about $19 and she charges $21. I’ve seen the same thing on yarn. Now I’m all for supporting my lys, but don’t rip me off. I knew she was going to be more for the needles but I figured it would be less than the $4 I’d pay to take the subway to go to another shop.
