...W.I.P. Wednesday...and a small tragedy...

...the Christmas socks are progressing...
...I've turned the heel on the second sock...but you see that needle sticking out there in three pieces...
...now...I have mended broken plastic needles before...but...you see that tiny little piece of the tip...I wasn't sure I could get it lined up properly and was afraid it would snag when I tried to knit with it...so...I just got out some fine sandpaper and sanded a point on the long(ish)piece that was left...
...so now I have 3 regular sized needles and one shorty...
...it's working out ok so far...
...so sorry one of my sweet little perfection points got broken...but so thankful that it's still usable...

~Have a lovely day!

  2. I love that you first look for a solution that is more than just throwing something out.
