I also did the floss toss for Stash Busters Club and for the Glendon Place "Ornaments ala Round" (would you believe that I didn't have full skeins for two DMC colors in this piece! Why is it, when I have such a huge DMC stash, I ALWAYS end up having to go to the shop and buy more?).
I have broken needles in succession like that - when I do, I put my stuff away and go read for a day or two, because I am clearly trying to muscle my way through something... :)

I think you are right --- I must have been trying too hard... I could understand it with that rayon thread, but usually I don't have those issues with cotton floss... and it was ALWAYS the cotton floss in the needle when it happened. Hubby thinks I got hold of a batch of flawed needled! But since most of my needles are left-overs from kits, etc, there's no way to be sure ...

Yeah, no telling what those might be - good ones, or... ones with a limited shelf-life. Who knows?

Like the colours you used for the 2 smaller pieces.
