Ode to addi Turbo. How I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I was really going to grow as a knitter while making my Christy inspired Clapotis. I had bought the lovely burnt orange bamboo yarn (bamboo – check, color other than pink – check) and amazingly enough I already had a brand new pair of size 8 bamboo. Now I am pretty much a metal needle knitter through and through. I had branched out a bit while making the socks because the place I bought my needles only had wooden double pointed needles. I had gotten use to the toothpick feeling so I thought knitting bamboo WITH bamboo would be ultra chic and I too could look like I made it sitting in a café in Paris. By the time I had gotten through my third “test” run I knew it wasn’t going to work so I ran upstairs at the knitting shop and lovingly snatched the size US 8 24” addi to my bosom. I am well on my way having done the above in a couple of hours. I really do like the use of the stitch markers (these are one type that work well for this project) as you don't really have to count.
