Japan Pattern Book Swatch

Can't wait, this is my favorite Japanese Pattern Book Alice Starmore , I started the first project but restructure the sizes because the original will slim up the waist. But I prefer A-shape.
I'm using Hamanaka Extrafine Lame merino knitting yarn - Purple. Haven't put in my on-line store, because it sold very well at my LYS, it's not easy for me to update often. If anyone want to buy, please contact us or leave a comment. As usual, i'll answer very prompt.
Already finish the front side. I'm still very excited to knit and knit. Stop here, I need to work hard.

Addi Lace Circular Knitting needle or 24K Addi needle?

Addi lace Circular knitting needle or 24k Addi circular Knitting Needle?

What are the different between Addi Lace and 24K Gold plate?
Addi lace Circular knitting Needles are still selling in the market but 24K gold plate was not in manufactured.

I remember 18 years ago, I bought my first 24K gold plate circular knitting needle 7mm 80cm.
It's amazing beautiful, light weight, super fine tips and really SMOOTH.

At that time, bulky sweater was very popular, but I had Aero 7mm and 10mm circular needles only. The ugly inflexible plastic cord and terrible plastic needles made me explosive. Nearly mad with the needles.

The First touch Gold Addi needles, impossible.
It's my dream needle.
It follows me 18 years and finished many many projects and offer pure knitting bliss for my works.
Now the tips was discolor but still very good condition.
