The perils of public bus knitting.

LOTS of bus travel for me today, so naturally I brought my sock project. Forgot I needed to frog the start of sock two and cast on again though. In public. Uhoh, pressure.

Well it is my pleasure to inform you that this morning I successfully remembered how to do a figure 8 cast on without looking up the instructions, for the first time ever 😎

I guess hardship leads to success, or something.

    @thegiddystitcher @knitting I was once finishing a sleeve on a baby cardigan on a train, using DPNs. I thought I was grabbing my newly empty DPN from my left hand when I realised I’d somehow grabbed the next DPN that had stitches on it instead and had cheerfully slid all the stitches off it. Cue frantic careful picking up of 18 dropped stitches in public.

    I have changed my way of working on DPNs.

      I do this all the time :) I even yanked out a circular doing 2 circ method once, because I forgot it was not a DPN.
