Knit Picks Interchangable Review

I've been playing with knitting needles I came across inter-changeable circular needles, the ones I've gotten to play with are the Knit Picks Nickle Plated Circular needles. Here is the picture of the set I've been playing with. If you are looking to pick up a set there are many on the market but these are the ones from Knit Picks.

The only problem I've had with this set was something that's an easy fix. Whenever I was knitting they started to undo themselves, it got infuriating, I was losing stitches and I honestly had started to dislike these needles because of it. It wasn't until my mother and I expressed our distaste for the needles that we got shown by the lovely owner of Rosehaven Yarn Shop who was a wonderful woman to chat with, as well as very knowledgeable. I met her at her stall in the CreativeFest.

The fix! You see that small metal thingamajig? (Yes that is a technical term!) Well that is what you use to make the needles stop undoing while knitting.









Put together and awaiting the final step before an awesome project.

Pin in the needles, you use it to help provide more torque, allowing you to tighten it enough to allow the needles to not undo.

This is how you may turn it, if you need to change the needles, just insert and and turn.





Aside from that little bump in the road I love these needles, and am looking forward to getting the wooden set soon.

Cowl!

So a post a little while back was the starts of a cowl!

I did indeed finish it and it's one of my favorite things to wear evers!

It keeps me very warm and I think the colour suits me.

Speaking of knitting! I managed to knit a rather cunning hat for a friend's birthday! Stay tuned and you shall see the tutorial and the progress shots, as well as the finished project.

Toodles!

Wow

So I guess I haven't been on here much, I'm hoping to change that a bit!

So what have I been doing with myself?

Well my now ex and I have split, though I wish him the best as I do with all my exes at this point.

I've been helping a friend out with some commissions, which has kinda sparked my want to bake again.

I've been playing Warmachine, and Minecraft, have gotten into Magic, and High Command.

I've been living life as best I know how, that involves being able to explore myself further. I'm currently dating some wonderful people. People that want what's best for me, and I for them. Lovely nerdy people who I think the world of!

I'm still doing the whole camping thing, and knitting my little butt off so I will show some progress reports on that sooooooooon. I might be making a change onto Wordpress but I haven't fully decided that yet.
