For some weird reason, the latest tie off the needles has been a real challenged: the wool breaking on no less than SEVEN occasions!  This is something that hasn't happened since the first two ties, so hard to know what the cause of this was.  Well, not totally hard for two of the breakages as there was a dog involved, but that was nothing to do with the other five occasions.  After bravely struggling through, the finished tie was carefully inspected - and is identical to the others.  We think this is the one to be used for some serious road testing, and are currently seeking a robust model to wear it for a month!
