Was it intended that the book drop on April 1? I just find it funny in a way. :-)

About those larger size Addi Turbo Lace needles - a pretty reliable source (owner of a yarn shop in Washington state) told me that they are coming out with larger sizes, either this fall or next Spring. Your wish just may be coming true!

I've heard the same thing as Gaile, from a similarly reliable source, so take that for what it's worth. ;)

Welcome home, sunshine! Denny if you get the yarn, remember I'm stalking you and I'll just end up with it.

WOW! I didn't realize that addi turbo had special lace needles. I will have to check those out.

You got my hopes up for a sec. I thought the book was already out.

Will there be another book tour? (And will you come back to Austin?)

I've heard the same thing about larger sizes of Addi lace needles becoming available soon. Right now, though, I have trouble getting the longer 32" ones in the current sizes.

I'd also like size US0/2mm for my sock knitting. The regular Turbos are just too slippery for my loose-knitting ways.
