I am very blessed to be in a great group of knitters. We arealways sharing ideas, patterns, and techniques. We are there for each otherwhen one of us has to rip a sweater out and start over (that is usually me) orjust plain frustrated with how something is not coming out right.

 I always know who to go to for specific advice, such as, whospecializes in what…the Lace Lady, the Sweater Siren, the Sock Superstar, theFiber Fanatic, the Gossamer Goddess, and the Felted Bag Bigwig.

 So when it came a starting a KAL (Knit Along) for lace…Iknew just who to find. She pulled out these amazing bronze needles, sharp as afinely honed knife (well, maybe not that sharp, but compared to the needles Iwas using at the time; it was like comparing a Henckels and a old Gin-su knifethat I found at the Dollar Store.) I could not believe the difference! I wentwith a 4; it seems that most of the patterns called for that size.

 Ever since, I have quite the Addi Turbo Lace collection. Ihave been somewhat spoiled with them. The cord is amazingly flexible andrelaxed. I have come to hate the needles that require a good soaking in warmwater to loosen up their seemingly permanent shape…something that resembles atangled ball of nasty yarn. I end up spending more time trying to smooth outthe needle cord than starting my casting on!

 I have gone on to use the needles for other projects thanjust my lace work. They are wonderful at socks, scarves, and I have even put afew sweaters on them.

 Thank you Lace Lady, I will forever be in your debt.
