DPN Heaven
So I promised to tell you what I thought about the Harmony DPNS. I loves them. They are my favorite DPN, trumping the more expensive (bit still nice) Crystal Palace bamboo.
I honestly have nothing bad to say, but since lots of hearts and kisses are not helpful, here they are in comparison to some other needles.

There is a Crystal Palace bamboo, a Harmony and an Inox metal, all US1. The tip of the harmony really isn't so much sharper, but it has a longer taper, so the stitches just cruise along. In fact I've casually knit 3/4 a sock in a few days- a record for me.
The colors are great- witht he thin needles the laminate wood stripes along the needle, so as they rotate around they seem to turn color. Fun!
No breaking or bending so far.
I have to say I don't understand why the DPN sets come in two different metric sizes for each US size. Seems like confusion to me. So I'll just order the standard US sizes.

They say it is because the metric sizes are more finely tuned, or something like that. That's why! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review, Sherry! They are fun, and I enjoyed trying out the circulars of the Harmony you had last week.
I do love Crystal Palace dpns, so will need to get a pair of these one day.
Good info to know!! Go you on the sock!
Great review--and thanks for putting them up next to other dpns. I like their point!
I like my Harmonies too! I have interchangeables and wow... they're awesome :)
I'm glad they're offering the metric & standard us sizes-- they started w/ the metric in metal to be like addis but sometimes I want that .25mm difference :)
