Keep the wrappers, girls

I just bought a pair of bamboo circular knitting needles last night and this morning starting knitting with them. By lunch time, one of the needles came out from it metal neck that holds it in. I took it back to the shop on my way home from work and they wouldn't take it back without the plastic case the needles came in. I wasn't a very happy camper. Yes, I had my receipt with me and just wanted to exhange, but no luck. So now I have to make a separate trip back there tomorrow to make the switch.

Lesson of the story? Keep the packaging for all your knitting supplies, in case you need to make a return.
