• today’s final accomplishment

  
  
  Success on the dpn stitch holders/impalement preventers! (Preventors?) My new Signature needles are v. v. sharp. More of these would make an excellent birthday present, by the way. 
  
  Made one for Sarah with magnets, so she can attach it to herself when she is not using it, so as not to lose.  Because sometimes that’s a problem for her.
  
  
  
  I kind of knew what I wanted to make and a search brought me this tutorial which was darn cute and essentially what I’d planned.  However, I wanted two lines of elastic for more balance.  I had some abc beads around from old stitch marker projects.
  
  I had a few ideas.
  
  
  
  
  Made one set for my new square Kollage needles. Size fours are for knucks.
  
  
  
  It annoyed me that the little cappy things cost thirty cents each at the Ace Hardware. On the internets I can get a bag of a hundred for three or four dollars. But you know what?  Then I’d just have ninety-two of them laying around here giving me the hairy eyeball.  I can spare a few bucks for a local business, right? And y’know.  Immediate gratification.
  
  Portland/Sock Summit blog will be forthcoming… in a day or so.
