Hmm, a review?

Troubled waters were hit yesterday in the land of knitting. My 32" knitpicks cable came out of its join. I immediately popped it back in and kept on knitting, but with each stitch the goobery thing kept twisting (though it stayed in the join, gotta give some love). I called last night and with no problem and quick service a replacement is on its way. It took me awhile to get on the Knitpicks bandwagon, but I'm there. I've only placed one order, but it was a pretty good sized one in my opinion, and I have had nothing but pleasant customer service the two times I've phoned them. So what, my cable has a boo boo, shit happens. The important thing is that it is corrected properly without putting anyone out. I feel like that has happened fabulously.

I'm not sure if I ever gave my new Harmony Needles an official review, but I don't really feel like I have to. I've only ever used Boye interchangeables before (they just aren't for me - and that's putting it politely). I love how slick the needles are, yet I don't lose stitches. It's like magic. Knitting magic is my favorite. The cables are everything that everyone has raved about. So far they are at the top of my list. Boy cables are SUPER stiff, Clovers are better, and the SB Quicksilver are pretty nice....unless you've used Knitpick's. As soon as you pop those puppies out of the package they unfurl into a nice straight line and just Gumby their way into whatever shape you need....and then they forget about it. It's fabulously covert and I love it. And one other note, I've never had to retighten my tips, and that's with all the covorting with the afghan I'm making. I think my other X-mas money is going to venture into more yarn and Harmony DPNs.

I also finished the Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting and I really enjoyed it. It's been my bathtub read since Christmas, and hopefully she'll forgive my making her book a bathroom read, but I never take my knitting to the tub.... I'd wholly recommend it (the book, not bathtub knitting) to any knitter, or someone thinking about knitting. I even found myself needing to read excerpts to my husband just so maybe he'd finally 'get it'.
