A Washington woman’s knitting needle explodes! Heh heh.” - I’m paraphrasing, except for the laugh at the end. So I kept watching. I almost posted about it right after the segment - what a timely post! But didn’t - it seemed too hokey.
Today, however, I ran across the discussion that had already been circulating across the internet about the incident, and thought I’d post about it, just in case you hadn’t already heard.

The article from a local paper
and the thread from Knitter’s Review
All riveting - the best theory is that there were gases or particles left inside from the casting process that oxidized and were just too much for the old, worn-away metal of the needle’s tip - more information coming as soon as the bomb expert(!) finishes his analysis.
I actually just like seeing anything knitting-related in the news. Personally I knit exclusively with bamboo or wooden needles. I like the organic feel of them. But they can give splitters, so really, no one is ever completely safe.
