These were the first set of DPNs I ever owned. They came from a bag of thrift store goodies, along with miles of seam binding and hundreds of pins. They were the first DPNs I ever knit a sock on and while I may have moved on to bigger and better and more aluminium things, these needles remain with me. Why? Not because they are bendy and give me hand cramps, and not because they are a size I normally use for socks. I keep them because they are invisible to X-ray and can fly. As an added bonus, if you bend them too far they can also fly of their own volition.I'm headed east to Manchester, the other "home". See you on the flip side.
Safe travels!
