When I snap a wooden knitting needle, it MIGHT just be you know, stuff happens. So I switch to metal for a bit.
When I BEND A METAL NEEDLE IN HALF, I’m probably too stressed out to be knitting.
*headdesk*
I originally purchased a Knitpro Spectra kit with beautiful rainbow acrylic tips. I stress fractured a pair of tips in six days. Fortunately, I was able to negotiate a replacement/upgrade to a Nova kit with nickel/brass tips, which are a bit more hard-wearing. Still, this is how my 3.25 pair looked after I finished the Forest Path Stole commission two days ago.
