On Feb 3 the Knitting Focus Group met. There were 13 in attendance. The purpose of the group is to discuss knitting topics, have show and tell, knit and snack. The top of discussion for the February meeting was knitting needles and crochet hooks. What did people like and why. It seemed the majority preferred circular needles in general, though for sock knitting about ½ liked to use double pointed needles. Most liked the Knit Picks, either Harmony wood or nickel interchangables, with the one complaint being the Harmony ones often pull apart from their joins. Knit Picks will replace, or you can use some super glue to fix. Neither of which helps when the tip goes in the middle of a lace shawl, which just happened to me this morning! Addi Turbo needles were mentioned by quite a few, as well as Inox and Susan Bates. Punky brought her full sets of Signature Needle Arts needles. They were certainly works of art!
