Stupid Needles

I'm afraid it's true. Knit Picks circular needles hypnotize me into stupidity. I've spent more time correcting errors than I have knitting since transferring those socks onto the new KP needle. Stupid errors, careless errors, and weird errors that make no sense, like a the 1st stitch of the ssk showing up 3 stitches later, also, as an extra purl. Huh?
