Knitting in the round!
Success! I have finally gotten my head around knitting with dpns! Well, actually, it's not like I ever had problems with it per se. I've always just been so scared of knitting-in-the-round and the prospect of failing that I've always been deterred to try my hand at it. My purchases so far this year have included the deluxe set of KnitPro Symfonie Wood interchangeable circulars and a set of their sock knitting dpns - I was determined to overcome my irrational fears. But it was knitting for the premmies that gave me that extra push to try working with dpns, because I wanted to knit seamless beanies for them this time, so that they'd be more comfortable to wear. So yes, yesterday I said to myself, "This is it! You're going to knit a beanie right now in the round!" - and that was that. It's not so bad afterall! The lesson learned is that I should not let the 'what ifs' in life stop me from doing things that I want to do. The next barrier to be overcome is cooking with meat! As much as I love baking, I feel like I should be able to cook a whole meal. I'll set myself a deadline of 8 months :P
