Seduce: to win over; attract

Yarn seduces me with her siren call. "Pick me! Pick me!" I am hopelessly enchanted by yarn and am delighted by the endless choices.

New Needles

Have you seen the new 9" circular sock needles by Hiya Hiya?

When I first saw them, I thought huh? don't think I'd like them. But then I was asked to test them...they're great!!

I cast on 64sts with Brown Sheep Wildfoote and started the ribbing on a US size 1. I thought it would be difficult with such a small circular needle circumference but n-o-o-o, it actually works well. So well that I asked for one in a US size 2 so I can try them with a pair of fingerless gloves! (I have to wait because they had to be ordered.)

They are great if you have trouble with ladders between your dpns.

And since I don't have enough WIPs (not!) I wound this yarn (which I haven't tried yet) for a pair of fingerless gloves. The Ravelry Fingerless Glove Fanatics group September kal is Della Mitts.

Watch for an updated pictures.
