Stiletto

-
At 5'10, I've never ever even contemplated Stilettos!  until now......

When Signature Needle Arts announced that they were going to be doing 3.25, 3.5, 3.75 and 4mm circular needles...

well I just had to have some - these are the 3.5 mm (purple) needles - 47" - the cable is so soft....

and the stiletto points, are well, pointy!
I can't wait to try these out!

    I dare you not to love them!!! I haven't actually tried the circulars - I have such a vast collection of Addi Lace that it's hard to justify - but I will probably will cave one of these days for a special project!!

    I have some of the DPNs and can't wait to start ordering the circulars. The stitches glide on and off the needles effortlessly, yet the coloured part of the shaft grips them so your work won't slide off the end of the needles when not in use, a perfect combination of slip and grip.

    I love my DPNs and so ordered two circulars in the smaller sizes. Haven't tried the circs yet but love the way they feel in my hands.

    I am only 5 feet, 4 inches and I have never considered stilettos either. I do like a nice pointy knitting needle though...
