Ladies and gentlemen… The Knit Picks Options needles are now available for pre-order! And we’re selling them for $30 less than the recommended retail price! (And that’s the supplier’s RRP, which is less than our usual markup anyway.) The kit is slightly different from the American version; we get one fewer pair of needles but also more extras. I talked the supplier into giving me a couple of trial pairs a few months ago, and I’ve been really impressed with them. They feel just as slick and speedy as Addis but the points are even pointier, which I like. My only complaint is that I’ve had a few problems with the tips unscrewing. (Granted, sometimes I forgot to tighten them with the little key.) Anyway, I’ll be ordering some. And remember, needles don’t count for stashbusting…
