DPNs on Short Notice

Oh no!

Hmm. Finding plastic dpns means driving to yarn store in mad Christmas traffic. Going past Sprogfight on way home. Sprogfight doesn’t have plastic dpns. Has metal dpns. We hates metal needles. But Sprogfight does have plastic straights. Cheap $3 straights. Hmm.

Straights broken into four.

Ends sharpened.

Ends sanded.

New plastic dpns! No need for interaction with crazy Christmas shopping crowds. Yay!

And at same time, bought silly crochet hook that lights up!

Now want to crochet with silly light-up hook, not knit with new dpns. Sigh.

  1. Snap! I made some short 4mm dpns from dowel but they were not very good. These are excellent. I agree with Bells. I saw those crochet hooks in The Black Spot of DoomLight(TM) today as well. How do they hook???

  2. Good idea!

    Have you seen the knitting needles with lights? I haven’t tried them, they’re straights… I don’t care to knit with straights (except dp’s on socks) I feel like I’m rowing a boat.

    I was knitting socks at my In-laws one year and using 4″ bamboo dps. I saw my father-in-law picking his teeth with what looked like a log toothpick… It was one of my needles! Guys… you have to keep an eye on them.
