random knitting stuff
this morning on the bus, while working on xmas gift #5, a man asked me if two of my needles (i was using 4 dpns.) were just there to hold the stitches. i said, why yes they are! they just hand out back there. (this was a much better exchange than the so-are-you-making-that-for-me line i usually get.)
inspired by this blog post, i did the last few cables of xmas gift #5 without a cable needle.
however, the first cable i tried seemed very tight and awkward on the needles. i realized (only 5 stitches in...not too bad) that i was only working with 3 dpns because i had put down the 4th while reading that tutorial. i'm a dork.

Arg I hate the "so-are-you-making-that-for-me" thing. Interestingly I got it more of it in Madison than I do in Boston. Score one for anti-social city dwellers!
I've done the accidental switch to 3 dpns so many times! It's a consequence of using circs so much I guess :)
