knitted babies.
Reason #89 why Knit Picks rules!
I’ve been knitting socks this past week with size 1 dpns from Knit Picks, their nickel-plated fantastically pointy dpns. Something I noticed into the first sock that continued into the second is that the nickel finish has actually been peeling off in little flakes. I thought maybe this was some fluke of my terribly sweaty hands problem (which sounds gross, sorry), but it hasn’t stopped, so I just called Knit Picks a few minutes ago and explained the problem.
The lady I spoke to was SO nice and KP is going to replace my dpns for free! I’m very pleased. She said that the peeling problem is not common, though she got another call today about the same problem from another customer. She said to give them another call if I have the same issue with my replacement dpns, which I will definitely do.
I love Knit Picks. So much, in fact, that I would marry them and have their little knitted babies. For real.

It seems to me like they have great products AND great customer service, so important! 
Oh, and I am still trying to decide what pattern to knit with Puck’s Mischief. I can’t make up my mind! (but what a wonderful problem to have!)

I have the sweaty hand thing too - and I hate it. Glad I’m not alone!
I’m also very glad that they are replacing the needles, I would be very disappointed if they did not.

I think the real test will be seeing whether the replacement needles have the same problem, and if so, how customer service will handle it! We shall see.
