Smells like victory

[teaforlupin]

I have successfully taught myself to do the weirdest thing ever, viz. knit on double-pointed needles, which is just RIDICULOUS, honestly why does this even work and who came up with it, I can't believe I'm learning how to do this just because I want to make socks

The project pictured is going to be a dice bag for my wife to use for her Blue Rose dice set 0:D

LOL it is a strange sensation at first, isn't it? But what a satisfying little tube of knitwear it results in! Also, I love that color.

The colour is to match Jude's dice!

Yay DPNs! They're fun, at least once you get past the cast-on row.

[teaforlupin]

That was THE WORST >.< it did go much more smoothly once I got up to like row 5 or 6, though

Looks FANTASTIC. Knitting on DPNs feels so weird at first, but it becomes really naturally after a while. Socks are my favourite thing to knit!

Thank you! I got it finished last night (just need to make an i-cord for the drawstring) and it actually looks pretty cool and really not very messy at all for a first attempt at something, so I'm very happy with it!

Yay!

(Oddly enough I am currently scrolling on DW while knitting on DPNs.)

A Classic(tm) :P

oh my god I once read knitting with dpns described as wrestling an octopus and that, my friend, is why you'll tear my circulars out of my cold dead hands!!

[teaforlupin]

This simile would be even more apt if said octopus was spiky and its arms kept dropping off and you had to put them back in!!!

[aphilologicalbatman]

mean octopus with some assembly required

That looks like amazing knitting! Major kudos for conquering the DPNs!
