Sock Wonder?

I guess it's well known by now that I've got a yarn stash that could almost compete with a small yarn store, but I have to admit, yarn isn't the only thing I can't say 'no' to. Whenever there are new knitting needles available, I can't wait to get my hands on them. No matter if metall, wood, bamboo, no matter if round or square or with stiletto tips - I've got to try them at least once. So when I heard about Addi's circular needles called 'Sock Wonder', I had to order them right away.

This tiny ciculare needle is for knitting socks in the round with just one needle. It is  only 25 cm long and what is special is that the needle tips are of different length: one is 45 mm only, the other is 70 mm long.  Well, when they arrived here they came packaged as any other needle without a description, so I went with trial and error to figure out which needle goes where (Yep, silly me, I should have searched the internet first). When that 'problem' was solved I cast on for a pair of socks...

The first rounds were pretty fiddly, but I did make some progress, although it took me way longer than with DPNs. It might not have been the best choice to go for a sock in size small with 54 stitches only and a lot of twisted stitches in  addition, but apart from that, my hands tell me that this tiny circular needle is really something to get used to. And I don't even have big hands. Well, we'll see how I'll get along with them with the lace pattern I've got to work next...
