And I do like that tweed - the tweedy bits are so subtle, i thought they were beads at first. Cute! Oooh, i would have screamed, too.

I have been looking for a set of dp Lantern Moon needles - have a pair of large sp and just love them. Thing is - I bought a smaller pair a few months back and found they got sticky as I knit with them - some problem with the varnish or finish so store took them back and is waiting on rep to show up and assess the problem. So I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? The large ones have given me no angst, just lovely smooth knitting. Secondly - I make knitting needles and use a pencil sharpener to point the ends - perhaps this would work on your injured one. I sand them smooth and rub with waxed paper for the final finish. Good luck. Serendipity! I have been looking for a set of dp Lantern Moon needles – have a pair of large sp and just love them.
