We've been busy around here :o) My November gift is going suprisingly well -- round things usually get 'ornery' on me after they are bigger than a sock ;o)
We rented 'Eragon', 'Stranger than Fiction' and 'Blood Diamond' last night. CarrieK, I think you reccommended 'Stranger than Fiction'? Really great movie - although I fell asleep just before the end so will have to watch the end today.
Also - lots of work in the garden yesterday. It will be super-warm out today (77°) and we are also going to start some plants indoors in trays.

Wow, size 3s. It looks beautiful.
All those double points! You are going to switch to a circular at some point, right? Still jealous of your weather. I will be for at least another month, if not more.
It's lovely!
Stranger than Fiction is a wonderful movie. We also have Blood Diamond and will watch it soon.
Good question Jeanne - I've been wondering what size (24", 29", 36"?) circular to buy - and if I'll need to change circulars after a while, as well? Any reccommendations, from anyone?
If need be, I can continue adding more dpns for a good while -- the stitches are tight and in no danger of slipping around, so far.
What's the ultimate circumference, roughly? You can squish more stitches on a too-small needle up to a point, but it's hard to stretch too few stitches on a too-long needle...
This is the second recommendation for Stranger than Fiction that I've read today!
Chris: Hmm, I'm thinking at least 30-36 inches in diameter -- which (does math) equals about 100 inches in circuference. By that same math, it should be about 31 inches in circumference now... so, wow.. yea maybe I just need to have a monster polygon full of dpns? Suggestions highly requested!
I'm having no problem at all *knock on wood* with this number of dpns atm.. as long as I keep under 40 stitches per needle, everything works like clockwork.
I give you lots of credit for trying that. I messed up my round dish cloth! It had a similar design too!
I never swore so much on a plane, than trying to do that dish cloth while travelling to Vegas.
It looks so lovely. I be its soft.
I love them when they are done. Soft fingering yarn dropped into its round swoop. Ahh I can picture it now!
