I May Need Glasses...

See why I'm going to need new glasses? Look how little those needles are! AND just look at how short that cable is. Um... what was I thinking?

It's a 9inch cable- the shortest I could find. What I didn't realize was that if the cable was short.... the needles would be too. LOL Duh.. that's what makes them so good for using on stuff like this...

Like Baby Hats & socks!!  You can work with a smaller amount of stitches than on a 16 inch cable.

I don't know about you, but I can't seem to get 16 inchers to work well unless I have around 90 stitches on them. So... I use dpn's...

to make stuff like hats. Like Mo's Hat I made last week......

 I like DPN's. I really do. They are nice to use and after I get used to the fiddling around and get into a rhythm... it goes pretty well.  Unless.... I'm not starting out a new needle with a purl stitch.  Ladders.  Ugh... 

See those ladders? Those funky stitches that look like a seam between those lovely cables... yeah those. Ugh. Hate those.

I get ladders because I can't tighten the stitches up really well on purl stitches like I can with knit stitches! I would much rather knit at the beginning of a new needle and avoid the whole ladder thing, but... with cables... and this pattern....

Ta-Da! That's why I bought these itty-bitty knitting kneedles (I had to add the k! Just had too!) I am bound and determined that I am going to make this hat pattern (HERE) for Mo's Mama's shower on Sunday.

Oh crud... Sunday. Yeah.

That's like 3 days from now. Yikes.

So off I go to test my sight and my cable ability on another Mo Hat!

Just make sure when you see me next you help me cross the street~

I'm sure with my vision being tested I will totally need the help!
