Glass needles

Perhaps it's the hour (2:43 am) or maybe it's the story behind them, but I fricken LOVE my glass knitting needles. I wasn't sure for a while there. I'm 20 rows into the back of a tank I'm improvising (the front is finished), and all of a sudden it hit me! I love them! The way they click like pleasant sounding wind chimes, the way I can see my stitches through them, the way they seem to have become infused with my knitting style - I feel like I could set them down and they would carry on. Ok - so it is the hour. But these needles are pretty sweet.

As a witness to the magic that is glass knitting needles, I can attest to the lovely clicking sound they make! It's like knitting music!

I can only imagine what the person (non-knitter) sitting next to me would say were I to make such music as we watched TV. Of course I have been asking him to not whistle for 8 years now and he still does whistles.
But those needles sure are purdy.
