Does anyone know what type of knitting needles are pictured here? They're some sort of plastic composite material and the entire circular seems to be the same material. They also have nice long tapered needle ends. I inherited these from my grandmother and would love to find more.
Also has anyone ever tried one of those Sock of the Month clubs? I'm thinking of trying the Red Bird Knits SOTM club because they include sock patterns that I like and don't seem to use much self-patterning sock yarn. My second choice is the SOTM club from Joslyn's Fiber Farm although that one doesn't allow you to cancel at any time.
FUNNY STORY
DH and I regularly play Jeopardy together. This week Jeopardy is doing a special Power Players series. All the contestants are Washington, D.C. journalists, newsmakers or politicians. Most have advanced college degrees and have written books.
If you know Jeopardy you know that any time they have "celebrities" playing the questions get a lot easier and this is certainly the case for the Power Players series. The Power Players have been getting so many of the questions wrong that they leave most of the questions still on the board.
Yesterday none of the Power Players knew that Monticello was Thomas Jefferson's home. Then they were asked what type of "global" worm was a food for the moles destroying your garden and lawn.
One woman (who hosts a business/financial show on CNBC) answered "computer worms." That still makes me laugh.
