A Knitting Grrrrrr
Dear Boston-Area Yarn Shops,
There is no reason that you should not carry size 2 circular needles in bamboo. People *do* actually use them, and some of us have a marked preference for bamboo needles. I *know* I can get (relatively) inexpensive metal ones. If I *wanted* metal, I'd be *asking* for metal. But I want bamboo or some other wood. Only one of the three stores I called even carries size 2s, and they're out.
Yes, I can do my project on double-pointeds. I know that. It doesn't change the fact that what I *want* is the circular.
No love,
The cranky knitter
