Pretty well as soon as I saw the Harmony Needles from Knitpicks, I knew that I must have some. Looks like rapid action was the right action...
I'm not surprised that demand has been overwhelming - they are even better in person. I ordered the full set of sock DPNs for myself, and to split the shipping costs, I ordered a second set for one of my co-workers. I had them shipped to the office... It was a very exciting morning for both of us the day that they arrived. We showed everyone! Want to scare your co-workers? Show them your new knitting needles. They won't understand why you're so excited and may look a little scared, but hey, scaring your co-workers can be a good way to keep them in line... (She has sharp pointy sticks in her bag and may be unstable - don't make her angry or make any sudden moves...) However, there was one exception to this - the woodworkers! The woodworkers in my office were almost (but not quite) as effusive about the loveliness of our new needles. They admired them... They stroked them... They appreciated the beauty of the needles...
Maybe we should all buy our non-knitting partners woodworking tools...?

scaring co-workers is fun. I knit in the bank line daily and there is one teller who seems to think that I'm going to jump over the counter and hold her at 2mm 16" circular needle point. As if I'ed drop all the stitches of my needle to do it...

My dad is one of those woodworkers. He made me 3 knitting needles (I know 3...that was to get them to be the same size), before his health took a turn for the worse. He doesn't say anything about it, just doesn't bring home new wood things for the family. I think he's too tired. When I get my new camera I'll take a picture.
I find knitting on the train to work, I am the last person anyone will sit with....guess I look too dangerous with five sticks of wood making socks...he he he! Works for me everytime and I don't have to share a seat.
I love to pull out the pointed sticks at work too! The guys all worry a bit, especially since we design and program computer software. Quite fun!
Enjoy your new needles. They are so pretty!
