I used my Knit Picks interchangeable needles in a 4mm and had no problem with the yarn splitting even though the points of the needles are quite sharp. Last time I was at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interknitcafe.uk.com\/interKNITcafe\/Home.html\">Interknit Cafe<\/a> I ordered enough of the Rialto for a cardigan in a kind of teal shade. A couple of days ago I got an email from Kareen to say it had arrived (very speedy!) so I am going to pick it up tomorrow. I have to go tomorrow because tomorrow also happens to be the start of their sale \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The new washing machine is marvelous and I have done 5 loads of washing since it arrived yesterday afternoon!
