Maybe I should just photograph and list my fancypants yarns and keep the rest in the dungeon My Second Sleeve is fulfilling my need for something finicky. It has a cabled cuff, and I'm working it on a 20cm round needle so it's incredibly fingery. But once the cuff is done, it's just rounds with occasional increases and should be done in no time.

I've just started using my ChiaoGoo circs. No memory cables - no 'sproinging'! The joins between cable and needles is smooth as a baby's bum. Pleasure to use!
