Knitpick Needles ROCK

I've officially been spoiled. I found where I was in my knitting made adjustments to the pattern so I knew where I was the next time I had to set it down. (I'm just using the cross off feature button in word and I highlight the line, do it, cross it off, highlight the next row, etc.) And I'm knitting with my very long size 7 (US) Boye needles and wishing they were Knitpicks optionals :( but they're not. I'm going to have to beg the hubby if I can purchase the ends for the cables I already have, I hope I can convince him soon, cause the Boyes actually hurt my hands a little and I've only done two rows of 72 sts each. hmm we'll see.
