I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about the first time I used it, but it does wash up nicely. Now the innumerable knots that they seem to think are acceptable?

You see people using it alot. What don't you like, I've thought about purchasing it often, but it never felt very soft to the touch. Square needles....wow, that's different and makes me scratch my head. I do have carpal tunnel, arthritis etc, so am interested. But have 2 stuffed needle holders full of round needles. Can't imagine the expense of switching.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120102770811275751.post-50915342320393286652012-07-27T06:05:39.084+10:002012-07-27T06:05:39.084+10:00That shrug is so cute.
