eBay

I've been wanting to try some circular needles, so I got some on eBay today! A whole bunch actually. Circular needles let you work with things that are lots of stitches across- think blanket or sweater- because that number of stitches wouldn't fit bunched up on a regular needle. These give stitches somewhere to go and chill until we're ready for them again.


They also came with some extras, since they're being shipped from Hong Kong. I love getting eBay stuff from there! You always get candy or Magic Dirt Crystals or whatever (can't wait to use those, btw). So this time, I'll be getting some non-surprise extras:


I have yarn needles already, but more cannot possibly hurt. I'm amazed I've held onto both of my original ones for so long. I also have a stitch holder, but like I said before, they're crap. Or I'm too much of an idiot to figure them out. Maybe I'm just impatient! Yeah, that one. The neat thing is those pastel-colored thingees that look like a flock of birds flying at you. Those are needles for doing cable-knit. I'm pretty excited to try that!
