For the love of DPs

I have been to 4 LYS over the course of the last 3 weeks and not a one had a pair of US 0/2mm double pointed needles in stock.

Perhaps I am the last person in the greater Seattle area that is not using circular needles for socks? None of the LYS folks seemed all that concerned about not having these needles...actually they all encouraged me to try the circular method for socks. Hrrmmpphhh.

Don't get me wrong, I love circular needles and use them almost exclusively... except for socks... and lower bits of sleeves... and some hats.

I just really really like using double pointed needles. Maybe its the challenge of keeping track of where I am, or trying to keep stitches near the end from popping off.

Anyhoo, seems like I am going to have to start purchasing all my needles online. Bummer. I really like supporting my LYS.
