Dear Santa/Birthday fairy/Easter bunny/whoever*

Didao has been a very good girl recently.  She has only bought a FEW bits and pieces of pretties for her knit box and deserves a treat.

Can I suggest one of these

as they are very pretty and lovely and definately necessary.  And definately worth the money!

Many thanks

A Wellwisher (definately not Didao)

*delete as applicable

(serious aside - has anyone tried them that can tell me what they think?)

Hi Didao,

Dont be an impulsive buyer.  Think!

Do I need all of these, will I use all of these and how many do i have to throw away that I already have?

I think I have seen a set like that cheaper than £44 so make sure you browse around.  If your gonna buy new you wont need to rush, so check out elsewhere first.

Take Care!

Susan

I NEED some of those too!!! But can’t justify the cost! Lets face it 35 years of knitting,somewhere here I have a set of every size needle imaginable, so why oh why do I get the urge to bid on the unneccesary confused

I am still tempted, but they will have to go on my (increasingly longer by the day) wish list.  I think I would probably get them cheaper if I hadn’t fallen in love with using wooden and bamboo needles.  So on my wish list they will stay until I win the lottery! lol
