KnitPicks Options Needles - Now With The Power To Heal The Lame

Today I got another birthday package in the mail, sent by my Mom. She got me Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac (yeah!), The Knitter's Book of Yarn (double yeah!), and KnitPicks Options needles (holy mother of gawd!)! When the package came, I had been reading on the couch while wearing my wrist brace.


And I am not kidding you in the slightest to say that this picture was taken 6 hours later. The discarded paper can be seen in the upper left corner; the discarded wrist brace in the lower right corner. I have not moved from the couch - my elation over these needles was such that I could not be parted from their company.


I put the 5's to work on this Loch Ness pattern out of the Amigurumi Knits book.


It doesn't look like much at this stage, but this is almost the entire top half!

Nessie! Exclamation Points!

P.S. For you worrywarts, my wrist no longer hurts, it is (like the rest of me) too filled with excitement!
