Today I sprung (sprang?) for a circular needle organizer; I had hinted I'd like one for Christmas, but as usual, the hintee didn't take me up on it. Anyway, now my collection is neatly organized and hanging on the studio door. I have acquired circulars over the years in every size from 1 to 15 (except 5, 7, and 9), in lengths from 11" to 40", and in a wide variety of materials. (Mostly I like bamboo best now, but I just popped for some Addi Turbos, hoping that their slickness would mean I wouldn't have to fight the yarn so hard when knitting with two strands of worsted wool.)
If anyone wants an 11" aluminum #6, let me know, because I know I'd rather use dpns than use it.
I suppose I will hold on to the 5 nylon needles (#4 and #6) that I haven't used since the 1980s; maybe I will come into some yarn that is so slippery that I need sticky needles to work with it
