Since then, I started an experiment to see whether I should switch to circular needles. I had a relatively positive experience with the circs this summer and a very negative experience with the current standard, double pointed needles. With dpns I kept dropping the needles or having them wiggle out while in the bag. I was knitting lace, so fixing things was a hassle. Then the ends got splayed, needles got bent and finally one of the five got lost somewhere (fell out of the bag through a hole it made a few days before) leaving me to knit short needled.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, I got a fancy-schmancy pair of circs and all is well with the craft. I can even knit more than one project at the time. Now two boring projects turn into one exciting one. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/4999389668\/\" title=\"CIMG5759 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4091\/4999389668_1b50ee9ce8.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"CIMG5759\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also pickled some beets.
