I am making a hat for my son--very simple little pumpkin hat on double
pointed needles for his Halloween costume. I made one for my younger
son, but the directions I have are only for a small child. I cannot

3 sections, but they...

Finally, a use for aluminum DPNs by
Wooly
I don't like aluminum needles. They're cold, they stay cold, they

Today I broke my last bamboo hairstick as I was jabbing it into my
bun. As I...
