A Knitting First For Me

[gnomi]

Tonight, while watching TV and knitting, I snapped a needle.

But I'm in luck. Because Brittany replaces them, no questions asked, for free.

And I have another set (not because I feared I might snap one, but because I had Teh Dumb and bought a second set when I already had a perfectly good one), so no stopping for two weeks while waiting for the replacements.

last night i was watching a rerun of make me a supermodel, and the catwalk assignment was to walk with a barnyard animal, and one of the models picked sheepy the sheep, so before his walk the guy's making friends with the sheep and he says something to the effect of "be good or i'll make you into a sweater" and i thought of you. /random

Hee! And, see, my first thought was that the guy clearly knows nothing about yarn or sweater making, because honestly the sheep doesn't come to any harm from removing its wool. In fact, if I'm remembering correctly, the sheep kind of likes the haircut periodically. So, yeah, not so much of a threat to the sheep.

/geek (no, I'm lying. I'm still a geek.)

yeah, that was my thought too - "dude, that's really not much of a threat. you should be threatening to make the poor thing into dinner instead". (said model wannabe is a nice boy from chicago. possibly he just doesn't have any experience with sheep.) and as it turned out, the sheep did well enough on the catwalk for the guy to win the day's challenge.

Wow, knitting is dangerous :)

To be clearer, they're tiny-tiny needles the thickness of toothpicks (they look like toothpicks with a glandular problem, because they're 5" long). They're made of birch, and repeated use makes them susceptible to snapping. This is why the manufacturer has the free-replacement policy.
