Just as I should never enter a bookstore alone, I should never go into Michael's alone.
Yesterday, I was on the hunt for a particular yarn, and needed a couple of circular needles and some large-size crochet hooks. I didn't find the yarn. I found the crochet hooks. As for the needles? Um. They had the needle size, but not the length I wanted. Instead, I found this:
So I spent more money than originally planned but, in theory, I need never buy another circular needle, therefore saving money in the long run. At least, that's what I told spouse.
And I ordered the yarn off the internet.

I have one of these! I haven't gotten to try it yet, though. I keep wondering if I strung all the cables together, would it be flexible enough for Magic Loop on a pair of socks…

I like it so far! Being a fairly inexperienced knitter, I've yet to make a pair of socks and have never tried the Magic Loop technique. In fact, I just found out what it was a few days ago. The video I saw said a 24" cable was the smallest size that should be used.
