Sure the red socks are finished. And they look great.

Finished Red Ribbed Socks |
And the fit is awesome. Just love the pattern: its Ladies Ribbed Socks from Vintage Vogue (check out the Ravelry link if you need more info).

Great Fit! |
But my needle broke. Sure the thing didn't break in the middle of the actual needle. And I didn't lose any of the work on my new sock in-progress. But still . . . :(

Needle separated from cable |
I bought these bamboo circulars in the summer. At a cost of $18, I'd figure I'd get a few years use out of them. Isn't Clover's Takumi a reputable brand? Still can't believe the needle portion separated from the cable with a new sock on the needle!! My Boye circulars never did that.
So not happy! I can't just drive three hours into the city to replace it or even buy a new one! I'm hoping Super Glue will do the trick.

Until then, I'm using my metal dpns. Maybe I need to get my hands on some wooden dpns . . . I'll add it to my birthday wish list as its probably not possible to get them for Christmas.
