addi-cted?

I was having a frustrating time with Meret on the dpns as the hat got larger, so I looked in the local shops for 5.5mm circs, but without success. 

So I decided to bite the bullet and buy something good from Stash Fine Yarns and got myself my first addi needles.

I've never really understood how people rave about addis, Knitpicks , Denises or whatever until I tried these new needles. OH. MY. GOODNESS. The points just glide through the fluffy malabrigo, they are an absolute joy to use. I'll pay a bit more attention to the discussions of the relative merits of quality needles now!

I am still a hooker at heart. I am slowly becoming aware of these magical needles. I will say, the Addis that I have are freaking amazing.
