See that! My Icarus is coming in the fourth chart already and looking good:

But:
Tein vanhanaikaiset: varjelin ja suojelin puikkoja Miehekkeeltä (sillä on tapana katkoa puikoja!) ja sitten katkaisin ne itse!! Ja tuollainen siisti katkeamisjälki, ei mitään tehtävissä omin keinoin.. Mieheke kyllä ehdotti jotain kiristyssukkaa (joku pieni muovin/johdon pätkä joka kuumennetaan ja se sitten kiristyy) Auttaiskohan? Lisäavuksi vähän liimaa.
I did an old fashioned thing: protected the needles from the BF (he tends to break my needles both unintentionally and sort of on purpose..) and then I broke them myself!! What a clean cut, nothing to be done by my own means. The BF suggested some kind of manly method to fix it (a plactic tube, which should be heated and when it starts to cool down, it will shrink) Do you reckon it would work?? With some glue, of course.
Mutta hitsi vieköön että mulla ottaa nyt kupoliin! Nuo on kivan kokoiset puikot, 3,25 mm ja niissä on metrin letku.
I'm just soooo incredibly annoyed right now! Those needles are of a really nice size and they have a meter long cable. I don't think that there are bamboo needls of this size in my LYS...
Onneksi Susanne's ja Ann Budd pelastaa:

Ann Buddin On Your Toes-sukat 7-veljeksestä, 3,5mm eebenpuiset puikot. Ah ja voih noille puikoille! Mien olen ikinä voinut käyttää mitään muita puikkoja? Paksua sukkalankaa alkaa siis kulumaan tässä taloudessa runsaasti ja joulupukin luona käydään toivomassa samanmoisia puikkoja lisää pienemmässä koossa!
Ann Budd's On Your Toes-socks are knitting up nicely on my new 3,5 mm Eben needles ( sustainable eben tree needles -these are left overs from buiding musical instruments). The yarn is the infamous Finnish sock-all purpose yarn 7 Veljestä by Novita. I just have to admire those needles! They are great, awesome, perfect! Thick sock yarn will be knit in this house hold until I go to Santa and ask him to bring me some of these needles in a smaller size.
Ja tuo 7 Veljestä on Prisman kampanjaerästä. Ja ihanan rasvaista! Ei ole turhilla värikylvyillä käsitelty piloille, lanoliinia on ilmaisesti runsaasti jäljellä. Väri vain on sellainen että tuosta tulee Miehekkeelle saappaisiin metsästyssukat.
This yarn is a campaing patch for a supermarket chain and it's just awesome, too! Usually the yarn is very harsh and kills my hands, but this actually has some lanolin left in it! No extensive colourbaths for this yarn! But it means that these will be boot socks for the BF for the coming moose hunting season.
And also, I'd ike to ask any of you international readers (if there are any!!) whether I should continue to write this blog in English as well? As I'm not in any international exchanges at the moment, I will change back to one language writing if there are no requests. If you like to go on reading about my stuff, kindly leave a comment. (-> go to "Kommentoi" and write at least you name, preferably also your website on the third row and comment. There's also a word verification.. When ready, push the button "Kommentoi")
Thanks!
