So am I the last to hear about the Hopeful pattern? It's beautiful and for every pattern purchased at $5, Jenna will donate $6 to the Susan Love Foundation! There's even a knitalong here. I've never done short-rows before (except for the kind in socks, but those are different, right?) though... they scare me.

Update on my Denise needles. I snapped a cord the other day while working on my Hot Lava. D'oh! Good thing there's a warranty on them. I'll be mailing that out today!
