Needles

Well first,
I started with #5 Chrystal Palace circs
They were too small
Need a 6
I have ONE #6 Addi
I need 2
I have 1 #6 aluminum circ
Bad join, stitches didn't slide
didn't FEEL rite
I remember gouging rivets in the tips of my old aluminum needles in the late 60's early 70's
So I NEED 2 - #6 circs from same brand
Went to Jo-ann
Bought 2 - #6 clover bamboo circs
WAY BETTER!!!! to knit with
Gettin' a good gauge
Good join, stitches glide
Only thing is
Cable is thicker & stiffer than the CP bamboo
Almost bought the Jo-ann needles
They remind me of the old teflon needles .... HHHHHHMMMMMMM
Maybe I will buy 1 of several kinds
Try them with different yarns
Give a report

Yeah rite

NOW I gotta crash
Hafta get up in 4 hours
Almost tomoro
