People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if
there is a light from within.
[Elisabeth Kubler-Ross]
During my recent trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, I caved in and bought something to go with the yarn that I also bought—colbalt-blue, circular, glass knitting needles from ERNST finely crafted glass. Not only do these needles knit with greater ease than any needles I’ve tried, I feel like I’m using a piece of art. I’m one of those people who write better with a pretty pen and draw better with a special pencil (at least I feel like I do). Just thought I’d share that.
Knitting, writing and other joys 
Katherine,
It’s amazing how the little things in life, like treating yourself to those special glass knitting needles, can make such a big difference in the overall experience..Joy!

Enjoyed your gansey sock class!! Please come back and teach again. The pattern for those 2 pairs of socks I brought to is based on a 4 stitch/4 row repeat. Row 1: Knit; Row 2: Knit; Row 3: K2 P2; Row 4: K2 P2. I have glass needles from last year’s festival. This year the call of the Signature 6 inch double points won out. The most perfect sock needles I have ever used. Hope you had time to enjoy the festival in spite of the awful heat and humidity.
OOOO!!! I want a pair of 24″ 4mm designer #22!!! Shame that they are $50 a pair!!! Do they feel easy to break??
