On The Needles – October 19, 2012

There was a little knitting time this week . .

One sock is finished and the ribbing and a few rows are done on the second sock.  This is one of the heavier Opal sock yarns and I’m using 2.25 mm needles and this is turning out to be a fairly heavy, dense fabric.  It will be fantastic with boots this winter.  Someone asked me last week about the needles.  These are Quicksilver needles by Susan Bates and I love them!  Not everyone who has used them loves them but what I like about them is that they’re slippery but not overly slippery.  There’s so smooth but stitches do not fall off of them.  They’re not wood, they don’t feel like metal.  They’re pretty inexpensive.  JoAnn’s may carry them but they’re not real easy to find.
