But the thing I'm always misplacing is my keys, right when I need to get out the door quickly.<br /><br />We have a store nearby that's halfway between a LYS and a chain store. The yarn department is run by one woman who is a knitter and crocheter, so she keeps it stocked with better stuff than Michaels. I was able to get some size 10.5 DPNs there. (They were the plastic ones, but still. I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to get them.)<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I heart you because you actually use size 10.5 DPNs. :)Philosophical Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158346138596472638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898123306493915777.post-87375956087504171512009-08-26T11:22:02.690-04:002009-08-26T11:22:02.690-04:00Aw, it's great to see you back.
