I thought I'd show you the progress of my Hitchhiker. I love love love the way it's turning out. Great pattern, that was well written. I don't tend to knit a pattern twice, but I can see myself knitting this one up again.
I'm about 50% done. I say this, because I'm not sure if I will knit this until the 2nd ball of yarn is done, or if I will get to the end of the pattern before running out of yarn. I guess we shall see.
I did have to transfer over to my zephyr tips 4.5mm needles since one of my harmony 4.5 needles broke. I have glued it (even though knitpicks has a great replacement policy), I figured I'd try gluing first, and it that doesn't work out, I'll call knitpicks for a replacement. This needle should be good to go tomorrow. 24 hours is a fair dry time, I think.
What are you currently knitting or crocheting? Do you love the project? Do leave a comment & share.

I feel your pain....a broken needle in the middle of a projects is a pain. I used gorilla glue when it happened to me and that did the trick...I'm still using the needle. It was only a cheap bamboo circular (no name)from Joann's with no guarantees ;)
I can see knitting another Hitchiker myself - it's a great pattern. I'm actually wearing mine today!
Bummer! Hopefully the repair will hold up. I hate to get interrupted when I'm on a role.
Knitpicks does have great customer service, I agree. They have replaced a couple of my broken needle tips. The Hitchhiker looks terrific!
Knitting with broken needles does suck. However, luckily you were able to fix them. Otherwise you are right, KP has a fantastic replacement program, I've been impressed with their service before too.
ack! a broken needle? I haven't had that happen before. I am currently working on the chosen path shawl. I want to be done with it already so I can cast on for something new.
Nothing like a broken needle to throw a wrench in your progress! It's looking fabulous! I'm working on Bellevue with Wollmeise in magnolie.
