Flake
Published On: December 8, 2016

Remember back in August, when I was so excited for lovely, long DPNs?  And bought three sets?  And loved them with an undying fervor?  Yeah.  So here’s how that turned out.

I get that needles are tools, and that tools show signs of use over time.  I don’t expect tools to last forever.  But I’ve had the needles for less than five months, and they’ve only been used for two or three projects (depends on which set we’re talking about, but either way it’s not what I’d call heavy use).  And I do expect needles to last longer than this.

I’m totally bummed and once again on the hunt for sturdy, long DPNs.  Though I’m starting to think they just don’t exist…
