Yummy Koigu.<br/><br/>I never liked the two at once thing either, it takes too long to see any progress. I'll also admit that i can't stand the Magic Loop b/c it's almost as fiddly as DPNS for me, but love, love, love the two circs - 'cuz it's not fiddly, though you do have the extra needle ends hanging down which may seem awkward, but which I never even notice any more. As an added bonus, it bugs my wrists less too. They ARE pretty. Yummy Koigu.

Just sayin'. Less fiddly, too.<br/><br/>I have to agree with the "too pretty to be a ballwinder ball" comment. Do you use a nostepinde? It is the only way I can can get Wifey involved in my knitting, making her hold the skein while I wind.<br/><br/>And because I'm too lazy and late to enter two comments, let me also say there that I'm totally with you with the crush on Brenda Dayne of the honey voice. How can you not love a woman who interrupts herself to say, "ooooh, how pretty," or take a sip of tea? <br/><br/>Very envious of your freedom from pants shopping. Must look for Betzina classes locally. The progress is more apparent when you knit them one at a time. Just sayin’. Less fiddly, too.

I haven't gotten there with two at a time.<br/><br/>The balls look much too pretty to be the work of a ballwinder. I think the more time you spend at that gauge the less tedious it seems.

The balls look much too pretty to be the work of a ballwinder.

I also love teeny needles and thin yarn. It takes all kinds to make a blogosphere, right?<br/><br/>Does it help if you tell yourself "Last pair ever"? (Say it like Comic Book Guy.)
