did you know that one set of knitpicks needles and a wire is almost 20 dollars here. and one skein of cascade 220 is 17. it is a wonder i ever knit anything isn't it. i actually love knitpicks option because of the pointed tips. and in the end we may get a lot of knitterly stuff for christmas since we have been good all year.... i want a tormentil kit from vy for fern. i really do.
I love my Knitpicks Options, especially now that the Harmony wood points can be used with the set. Those addi are awfully tempting, though. I can't imagine you're getting coal in your stocking.
Knitpicks: I boycotted them when they blew me a big raspberry regarding brokerage fees on shipping to Canada. I don't know a single person who owns an "options" needle so I can't try them out, either.
Plus I can't imagine the cables are as nice as Addi Turbos - I have several of the Turbos and the Turbo Lace, and they are unequalled, I am sure. Don't disillusion me, I beg you.
$150.00 bucks !!!!( US $$ to boot - as our dollar is sliding!) Some day.... I would love to have those needles, after all they ARE Tools of the Trade and it could be equated with the need for, say, a CUT OFF SAW.( Just one of the many important Tools that we seem to need in our world) As a matter of a fact, our Tools are WAY cheaper ...and produce really important warm things to wear while using those other expensive Tools.... hmmmm, I may have a something to work with here! Thanks for the link Shan, Karen

Stace, YOU DIDN'T.
Poor, poor knitter. Size issues?
Ames: HA! Well played.

I want a love button for Karen's post equating the tools :-) That might even be a better price than one of the fly rods around here ....
