Dad, reader, software guy, sometimes a few other kinds of nerd. I am not defined by my day job, which involves software stuff at a big online bookstore that does much more, these days.

Plenty of follow-up questions from that worth digging further into Wikipedia, this morning, thank you!

I have a quite a few needles to re-home from an inherited stash. Multiple complete interchangeable sets of wood/bamboo needles and single circulars, along with a few multiple-size DPN sets. She had arthritis, and was experimenting with square cross-sections and knitpro "ginger" and such.
