			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just bought a set of <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/Options+Knitting+Needle+Set_ND90245.html">Knit Picks Options</a>. These have been on the covet list for awhile even though I love my Denise Needles. The dainty cables are teeny in comparison to my <a href="http://www.knitdenise.com/">Denise Needles </a>and while I don&#8217;t expect I will love these more, I think I will love them just as much. These are metal and have a pointer tip for better lace work. Plus the smaller cables will allow for magic loop in socks more easily than the denise. Plus they start as size 4 rather than 5. And now you know the real reason I finally did it. There is a set of bamboo interchangeables out there &#8211; but I WILL NOT buy them no matter how tiny the case is and how much I think I want them. 2 interchangeable needle sets are more than enough.</p>
<p>I think I want to knit the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mysterystole3/">Mystery Stole 3</a> on size 4 needles. I haven&#8217;t done a swatch yet, but in looking at the list it looks like the others in my yarn are knitting on a 4. I have Addis in a 4. They are on a pair of socks at the moment. And they don&#8217;t have a cool hole for a lifeline to carry through while you knit as the Options and Denise do. So, there you have it. I had to have them. My beads should be here this week, and my needles late this week early next. I have some other things to work on, so its ok if I don&#8217;t swatch until next week now that I am over yesterday&#8217;s hump. </p>
<p>I am sure that after working with the new needles a bit I will write up a comparison. Though as I have said, I don&#8217;t expect these to replace my lovely Denise Needles, which I bought for myself for christmas going on like 5 years ago&#8230;yes, I learned to knit and then bought myself the Denise needles in that first year. It really has kept me from having to buy a million other needles.</p>
