The Addi is silver/the Inox is grey. Thus, you can tell right away if you've grabbed the wrong needle! I only knit 2 on 2 now because when I am done, I am done! I hate knitting that second sock! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27129473.post-1165510460240848982006-12-07T11:54:00.000-05:002006-12-07T11:54:00.000-05:00There is a way to keep those two socks balls corra...There is a way to keep those two socks balls corralled and easy to manage. Get two small zip lock plastic bags and cut a hole in the bottom center. From this hole, you draw out your yarn. Then put the two yarn bags into a large zip lock bag, or into a small tote. <BR/><BR/>I have found that the foot and cuff stages are VERY portable and great for waiting for appointments, etc.<BR/><BR/>BTW, your shawls are GORGEOUS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27129473.post-1165109715643879392006-12-02T20:35:00.000-05:002006-12-02T20:35:00.000-05:00The Swallow Tail shawl is beautiful!The Swallow Tail shawl is beautiful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27129473.post-1164654255974680612006-11-27T14:04:00.000-05:002006-11-27T14:04:00.000-05:00your swallowtail shawl is gorgeous! i love the co...your swallowtail shawl is gorgeous! i love the color, i think the recipient will love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27129473.post-1164554011344569072006-11-26T10:13:00.000-05:002006-11-26T10:13:00.000-05:00Your Swallowtail is beautiful!Your Swallowtail is beautiful!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115895705578276096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27129473.post-1164549423896892772006-11-26T08:57:00.000-05:002006-11-26T08:57:00.000-05:00I surely understand what you are saying about the ...I surely understand what you are saying about the 2 socks on 2 circulars.
