I think that Knitpro is the European version of Knitpicks here in the states... so.. yes, they are very good...

Thanks nony for the well wishes. The needles are a realy good product. I had a bit of difficulty doing a cast off with them this afternoon (I am decreasing for the neckline on that cardi). The clear acrylic made it difficult. I guess my visual figure ground is not as good as I thought it was. Working with these clear tools may help with that tho.

The transparancy does take a bit of getting used to... It won't take long though...

You are right GrannyA, my perceptual figure ground is improving. It's just another gift from knitting.

I need weaker glasses then when I first went back to knititng, I can now read the computer reasonably well with just squinting!!! I started with a 325x magnifiction so this is a huge difference.

Now my visual perception is improving. Knitting, the occupational therapists dream project LOL.
