I'm a devoted Addis addict. I sometimes use my bamboos when I don't have the size in an Addi but I feel sullied when I do.

Also, to loosen up circs that have become twisty, soak the wired part (don't get the needles or the join wet) in near boiling water for a few minutes. As soon as you remove them, pull them straight and hold them that way until they cool. You need to do this fast as they cool almost instantly. And ta-da! No more twists. Love that trick and I just learned it last month!

Can't wait for MadTosh to start!

ive tried knitting several times before- self taught, but it doesnt stick. We started a knitting group at work- i am the only one that cant knit- so i have a lot of catching up to do. We have planned to make a very chunky knit cowl- no pattern needed. only cast on 28 stitch and knit for a bit- i'll let you know what happens with mine
