Casting On Disaster

So, it's 6am and I've measured out my 555.5 inches of delicious Malabrigo Belgium Chocolate chunky so I'll be ready to start the Knit Swirl club at Nikki's today and what happens....one of my interchangeable Knit Picks needles comes apart from where it's glued together.  Needless to say I'm fuming!!!! This is the second pair I've had trouble with.  I bought the entire set and got another DPNs set as a gift last year.  In their defense I will say they were very good about replacing the first set right away.  But really!!! Now a second pair.  AND it's always at the most inopportune moment, like when you're ready to start a class/project/gift with a deadline in minutes :)

So I sent them a scathing email already this morning and have employed gorilla glue so we'll see if that works at least until the new pair comes.  I love the look and feel of the wood of these needles but if I can't count on them to be durable, well then what's the point?  I know, lots of people are into the metal interchangeables but I don't like metal.  Want THESE to work, gosh darn it!!!!  Will keep you posted.
