I started another pair of socks on curved dpns. This time they are ones I bent myself. I got past the heel of the pair I was working on with the Neko size 0s. Here's how that looked:
And then well, this happened:
So a friend suggested I try bending my own using Susan Bates aluminium dpns and the result:
They work beautifully too! I'm loving them, not as flexible as the original Neko's but not breakable either! I've got several youtube videos uploaded on how I started these socks. More to come.
These socks are the Rose City Rolloers available on Ravelry. My knitting spindle tray is from Wool Tree Mill and very handy. Gotta get my gadgets in one of their tool caddies or a palatte for my mug! And Fiber Arts Friday is back! Thanks to Kathryn's Brain you can join here!

I still haven't tried the bent dpns... I love that you made your own from aluminum straights. :-)
I really like your wood tray in the last photo!
Thanks for joining the revived Fiber Arts Friday!!
Total missed opportunity there! I updated my post to add the source for my wooden tray. Honestly didn't think I'd like it as much as I do! Great for socks!
