My first time knitting with Felici. It knits up very soft and cushy. So far I am liking it.
Toe up magic loop on 2.25 40-inch Knitter’s Pride Zing circular needle. (My first time using Knitter’s Pride circular needles. I’m not blown away. I love the metal needles, but the cord has too much memory and one of the joins is a little bumpy, which irritates the hell out of me. They are very light-weight and pretty, but they can’t hold a candle to Chiao Goo or even to Hiya Hiya, which has a somewhat janky cord.)
