So since I lost one of my CP size 1s (I have no luck with this size needle, honestly), and had seven Brittany replacements, I decided to try using Brittanys again.
It’s going better this time around. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not, but this set feels slightly sturdier. And I seem to have better control of my grip now.
Well, actually, I take that back. I have noticed that I tend to grip my needles a little tighter when OLB starts to annoy me too much (which, unfortunately, is most of the time). Broke my second needle in such a circumstance, and late last night had to stop working on my sock when I realized how tightly I was holding the needles. So this does limit on how often I can work on small projects, but at least I know when I can and can’t use the Brittanys now.
