Awww, how cute.
You may ask yourself, what in Elizabeth Zimmerman‘s name is THAT?
Well, here’s the thing. I swatched with size 2 needles, and the cast on requires a size 1-2 sizes larger. And I only had a nice set of double pointed needles in size 4. My TWO interchangable sets, which are full of false promises of never needing to buy needles again, only go down to 5 or 6 I believe. Anyway, I grabbed one of the dpn’s, threw a rubber band on one end, and merrily cast on.
Those orange bands? They’re sport weight stitch markers, one every 10 stitches. The yarn I’m using is THAT tiny. And that needle is about 5 inches long. The picture is pretty close to life-sized.
Yes, I’m planning on seeing my eye doctor very soon.
