rebeccmeisterSo in anticipation of finishing the cardigan and wanting to get started on the next knitting project while at the conference and traveling, I brought along a ball of sock yarn and sets of #2 and #3 double-pointed needles (DPN). I had a certain sock pattern in mind, but when I finally actually started reading the pattern, it called for 2 sets of #1 circular needles (or could be adapted for DPN). I had my interchangeable circular needles along with me, but the smallest size they have is #2. So I thought, "Well, maybe I already have #1 DPNs in New York, so I guess I'd better hold off on this project until I'm back in New York."
As the subject line suggests...yeah, nope.
Maybe I'll manage to actually stop by UpStitch on Saturday, and if I'm lucky someone will have donated some #1 DPN's. Maybe. Sigh.
Although probably what I should actually do is work on finishing the needle felting on what S now refers to as my Elf Slippers. I apparently need to continue to be really stabby. And the slippers would count as finishing a project, whereas socks is more like starting yet another new project
(Though I could quibble with myself there, because I generally like to have at least one knitting project going in the background, and aren't all these skeins of sock yarn in my yarn stash representative of unfinished projects?? Anyway.).
