Last
weekend my son was doing his usual thing of climbing over the sofa,
when I heard a loud crack emanating from one of my knitting bags. I knew
immediately what had happened - my needles had snapped! The project was
my Hermione's Everyday Socks, which had been a little on the back
burner, but I had planned on working on them in Sunday morning, so I was
rather annoyed.
I've
always been a little scared of using my Knit Pro Symphonies in the tiny
sizes, but I've been knitting socks on them for the past six months,
and this is the first pair that have got broken, which isn't bad going,
especially as they broke in what would count as exceptional
circumstances, and at least they snapped rather than injuring anyone.
And it's easily enough to fix - the new needles have already arrived!
