  3. Eek!:(
    On the positive side though, the sock is looking fabulous — the beads are adding a lovely touch of sparkle, and the yarn is working really well with the stitch pattern. Is this a sock you’re designing yourself?

  4. What brand? One of my expensive rosewood needles broke too. It was really my own fault, but I found that the rosewood needles weren’t as strong as my favorite birch or my bamboo. I haven’t bought anymore since.

  9. It’s the conundrum of every rosewood owning knitter. Use them, enjoying every minute of their luxury but sure as heck breaking at least one. Or look at them from afar.
    LOVE your sock. And I love my rosewoods, even though they cheesed me off too!
    🙂

  11. How annoying is that when it happens. Well at least buying another set, you’ll have spares if (fingers crossed you dont) any more break. Love the sock too by the way.

  16. Not good but the sock are nice as Nora says. How did it happen anyway? Was this the first time you used them or have you at least had some good use out of them. Not that that’s any kind of compensation.
    A bit late I know but I love the Grape Hyacinth Scarf the colours in it are sensational. Em does a great job modelling it, looks lovely on her. And glad to see you are back onto Icarus. I need to motivate myself back onto the Shetland Tea Shawl.

  17. What size are they ? I broke two of mine – filed down the breaks and kept going on the first one, but got disheartened after the second. Maybe I can send you my “spares” if they are the same size 🙂

  18. Ouch. I stay away from wooden/bamboo needles for the smaller needles for that reason.. At least it didn’t break in the middle.. Maybe the longer portion of the broken needle can be rescued with a little sanding.. Gorgeous sock, btw. =)
