I am currently drooling over this set of needles: Knit Picks Harmony Wood Interchangeable Circular Needles.
They are so pretty. And I have only heard good things about Knit Picks needles. Of course the wooden needles are the most expensive of the three options they have. But they're still not a bad price at all. I much prefer wooden needles to metal or plastic. There's just something about them that feels right. And if I got one of the other sets I would just be dissatisfied and end up getting the wooden ones later when I actually have a job.
Not that I'm buying these needles right now anyway. I'm just drooling. And planting this idea in my parents' heads because my Birthday is the end of June... and that's not too far away.
In related news - I have been knitting up a storm lately! I'm not sure what it is, but it's frustrating. I've got one important project on the needles, but it's a lot of annoying intarsia, so I need other things to do when that one is being too annoying. And I keep finishing things too quickly! In the past few weeks I've knit two hats, a bear, designed and knit a Star Trek Uniform for Frob, and finished a sock (yes I'm going to do the other one too).
I'm going to have to start soliciting projects from people soon if I'm going to avoid insanity. Also I should get my yarn stash out of storage.
