I was fortunate enough to have been given a set of the KnitPicks interchangeables (a few problems with the cables falling apart, but mostly like them). KnitPro also sells the interchangeable circular needles with a shorter cable and smaller size needles (3.0 and 3.25 mm) which KnitPicks have not seemed to have picked up. Since KnitPicks is the 'exclusive' dealer for the needles in the U.S., it's a bit of a bummer for me, I may just have to buck up and order them from elsewhere.Now i may have to order some of the sock-sized DPNs as well.hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096332421127152188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-77909743264901202892010-03-03T13:57:09.199+00:002010-03-03T13:57:09.199+00:00Gee, that sweater is so beautiful.

I've always imagined some bossy Red Cross woman telling her knitters that the socks had to be a certain standard so that Lord Kitchener himself would approve. Somewhere, I think in The Middle Parts of Fortune, (Frederic Manning) there is a description of some sadly shaped Red Cross socks. Must try to track that down.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-89939090230281614492010-03-03T11:42:45.849+00:002010-03-03T11:42:45.849+00:00I will bet alongside you on Kitchener stitch.
I ...I will bet alongside you on Kitchener stitch. <br /><br />I do believe that if it had been used in the UK from that far back, it would have cropped up somewhere that I would have noticed. As it is, I only met the name in this present century, when I had been knitting, and reading and talking about knitting with people from the older generations for most of my life. Grandma never mentioned it, and she had knitted socks before,during, and after the First World War.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
