EEEK!

I was taking a break from housecleaning and knitting a round on a new sock. (I'm learning how to make socks on two circulars. Interesting.) Anyway, I finished the last purl stitch. I went to move the stitches to the middle of the needle and noticed that I had three stitches missing. Quick look and I realize that my needle BROKE at the join. So, I picked up the stitches, moved them to the cord that connects the two needles and am now waiting for my boys to get home so I can run to the yarn store and see about a replacement. Yikes! I was loving those needles too. Weird thing is, it didn't come away from the join. The wood literally splintered there. Odd.
