Don't let all the ends on the dpns scare you. It's all just knitting. I've done more fingerless mitts than I care to think about. Those look straight-forward enough (and certainly manly enough for a hunter)

Those look great! I'm scared of dpns.

Magic loop.

Yeah, I do magic loop. Does that mean I don't have to learn double pointed?

I find magic loop more intimidating than dpns, but maybe that's because I learned how to use dpns a long time ago and am very comfortable with them.

I feared magic loop until I did it (it was new! And talked anout by those hip knitters! And i didnt realize it was actually the same as that thing i called "faking it because i can't be arsed to get the right size of dpns when there's a circular right the hell here!") and then immediately quit using dpns for anything. I never feared dpns, but I was never comfortable with them either -- too many pieces pointing in too many directions, and I tend to lose 2 or so of each set.

Not drunk posting, fwiw. Just phone posting.

I loathe these "there's hope if you stand up to cancer" fundraisers. "If we can send a man to the moon, we can beat cancer" is nonsense. Beating cancer exponentially harder, because it's not one disease, it's hundreds of ways cells can go mad. Engineering is way easier than medicine.

Also, I hate hearing about dead people who were cheerful and always had hope.

Ugh Ginger.

Ginger, I totally understand that. I have had enough of hearing about disabled person who never let their disability get them down and still managed to do amazing things to last me a lifetime. I also meant to say the other day that you should please post whenever you need to. I think about you often, but I don't want to bug you too much about how you are doing unless you don't want to talk about it. If there is anything you need, you should speak up.
