I spoiled myself last week, I got a set of Knitpicks Harmony Needles from This is Knit.  The excuse I gave to myself is that I’m going to be doing so much knitting this summer that I really, really need a nice set of needles to make the job as easy as possible.

So far I’m really liking them.  A little bit of stick, a good point, and very pretty…now if they wear well I’ll be entirely pleased.

Actually speaking of needles, I can’t use straight needles, I find the weight on my arms to difficult.  Which is a shame really as I have quite a few sets of nice bamboo needles.  I find circular needles for working everything takes a lot more weight off my arms.
