Sharp Needles

May 18th, 2007

This kerchief that I’m knitting is on size US 1 needles that are as sharp as sewing needles. I haven’t really poked myself yet, but they do have a tendency to split the yarn a little. Yes, it’s a pain in my arse. I haven’t changed the needles yet though, because these are the perfect length, and I’m just too lazy. Plus, I kind of like working on DPNs rather than straights.

Unfortunately from the picture, you can’t really see the lace forming due to the shadow behind it. This will definitely need a good strong blocking. I’m not in love with the lace pattern or anything, but I think I will like this kerchief when it’s done. It’s green, so what’s not to like about that? Plus, I think it will look much better off the needles than on.
