I made a couple pair of socks with a yarn with elastic in it and injured my thumb because the elastic sticks to the needle. I needed to make another pair, and switched to KnitPicks nickel-plated dpns and it was a lot easier to slide the stitches. Eventually my thumb healed, but I have sworn off yarn with elastic content! It scared me to think I might have to give up knitting 'cause of that!
