I'm so, so excited! Look at what I got in the mail yesterday!
And now you're saying "My goodness, Dixie...you sure are easy to please! A blessing to gift givers the world over! No diamonds or furs for you! Not when you get so fired up over two rubber caps with a piece of elastic strung between them!"
Ahhhh...but they're not just any ol' bits of rubber and elastic. These bits of rubber and plastic can do this:
I can take a sock in progress and when I'm not working on it tuck the ends of the double pointed needles into each of the rubber caps and it's all held taut by by the elastic band. Do you know what this means? Do you have any idea what this means?
It means I can tuck my sock project into my pocket and carry it with me without the stitches falling off...and more importantly my leg won't be repeatedly pierced by the ends of the needles. I've been stabbed so many times by double pointed needles that I was considering wearing thigh pads under my clothes but my thighs look big enough already.

I love that someone actually invented something like that! What a great little gadget.
In your pocket? Where do you store the extra ball of yarn...your clevage???

Ahhh, it's the little things in life, isn't it? I can well imagine how annoying it must be to be poked by a rogue knitting needle when you're bending down to tie your shoes. And now you can take your knitting anywhere - just imagine the possibilities!
Pretty darn cool. Happy times ahead!
You know I don't knit, but that is just the coolest thing ever!
What Tiffany said! :) That thing is cool.
Okay - who told that I carry my working yarn in my cleavage? Heh!
