This shawl has had it's share of hiccups, but I'm going to optimistically say that it will be smooth sailing from here, just as soon as the new needle gets here.Kat Riddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789165295554082597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564569243607230163.post-29941217137341463592015-03-18T15:55:36.560-05:002015-03-18T15:55:36.560-05:00oh no, that's terrible!

I actually am not a big fan of bamboo needles for that reason- I've had too many experiences of the tip breaking off or splitting, buying nail files at airports to sand it down to be functional again, etc... your shawl will be lovely when it's done, but I"m sorry you've had so many hiccups with it!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988014571137161352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564569243607230163.post-70398924769881319832015-03-18T15:09:55.559-05:002015-03-18T15:09:55.559-05:00Yeah, one of the hazards with wooden needles is th...Yeah, one of the hazards with wooden needles is that they're more breakable. These ones are really cheap too-I bought them when I was a newish knitter and only spent $15 on a whole set-you definitely get what you pay for, and I'm working on updating all my needles as they wear out.Kat Riddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789165295554082597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564569243607230163.post-16199469469151756442015-03-18T15:06:01.969-05:002015-03-18T15:06:01.969-05:00Thanks!
