Thank goodness for opposable thumbs

11 November 2008

This is how I was earlier in the day, with two knitting needles, a crochet hook and yarn all being orchestrated in my hands. I’d dropped a stitch, found out how to pick it up, but evidently wasn’t doing something quite right. I tried several times picking up and making the loop, but eventually ended up with an extra stitch on the needle and the hole remained. So I went back a few rows to where life was good, managed to drop the correct extra stitch and then carried on without a problem – once all the stitches were back on the needle the right way round of course. Someone had better buy this damn hairy scarf when it’s finished.

Out of curiosity (not a knitter) what’s the safety pin for?

To mark how much I’ve done in a sitting/day. When knitting a plain length it’s hard to keep track of what I’ve gained.

I despise DPNs because I’m all thumbs. I use the Magic Loop for everything.
