when i switched needle sizes, i moved to knit picks nickel-plated dpns. pros & cons as follows:

easier to pick up stitches (and drop them), easier to do the double decreases, quicker to knit (jury is still out on this, as i invariably drop a few stitches each time i put this away in my bag, and have to spend some time with recovery upon restarting), not so fragile (i really felt like i could break the bamboo takumi us #1's at any moment)

it's coming along. i should be able to start the heel tomorrow. i'm making it longer than the pattern indicates (i like long socks) and can only hope that there is enough yarn.
