Just how many needles?

Knitters are known to feel insatiable towards yarns and needles.

I just realized that i have all the needles that i need (but not those above 6 mm).

Let's see. I have:

11 sizes of 3 different length of metal circular needles. That means 33 pairs.

11 sizes of 2 different length of metal dpns. That means 22 pairs.

11 sizes of 2 different length of bamboo dpns. That means 22 pairs.

11 sizes of 3 different length of bamboo circular needles, that means 33 pairs.

This and that, scattered in singapore and indonesia. And dont ask me to count my crochet hooks yet.

At least i have 110 pairs in my hands right now.

And i think, i have just enough if i dont do big needles knitting. :D

Over enthusiastic

I was on a taobao spree last week and bought yarns and needles from china. lotus yarn with its cashmere-silk, pure silk, wool-cashmere... Hmmmmmm...

I bought a set of needles, consist of 11 sizes of 5 different type of needles: 25 and 35 cm dpns, plus 40, 60, 80 cm circulars. The 11 sizes ranges from 2 mm to 5 mm. All for around SGD 30. What a bargain! I saw it on ebay before, cost around USD 26+. I didnt get a chance to buy it and the selles went MIA. So, knowing my BIL is going to shanghai, I immediately browse taobao and buy without thinking too much. 

Anyways, when i was buying the needles, i didnt realize that i actually bought 2 sets of needles until they are shipped. I was totally amazed with my stupidity. Lucky, after i post it on ravelry, one of my friend is willing to buy (it's a great bargain. Who sells 55 pairs of aluminum needles for only SGD 30?). So... Yes... I was too enthusiastic when buying the needles.

I have a lot of needles indeed...
