I like the fabrics produced by fine needles, and thus I have not been making the needles/adapters for large needles. I have suggested that users of large needles can reduce the stress on their hands by simply dropping down a needle size. I was wrong, and I am sorry.
I do not do commissions, however my SIL's 60th birthday is coming up and she wants a cowl. She has been asking for this for a couple of years, now she is saying that I must do it for her big birthday. The pattern calls for large needles. I got out my old cables and swatched. It did not look very good. I was up until midnight making adapters to use those big old DPN in the bottom of the stash needles with a knitting sheath.
Next morning, sure enough, it looks my knitting again.
I will make adapters to use large needles with knitting sheaths.
