I’ve knitted a bigger swatch on my dpn’s and have decided I’m ready for an actual project.  The only problem is that I don’t know what to do.  My second (successful) try on the dpn’s involved 60 stitches and just the basic garter stitch for about 1″.

I’ve been perusing my favorite knitting pattern websites and can’t find anything that works off of dpn’s.  They all seem to call for the dreaded circular needles.  :(   So I think I might have to draft up something myself and have a go at it.

Tonight I’m going over to my girlfriend’s house to do some knitting.  We haven’t gotten together since last week because last night I had a picnic to go to.  But I’m looking forward to it and seeing how far she’s come along on her crocheted blanket.  Another thing I’m thinking about doing and will probably do tomorrow, is go to the library and see what kinds of knitting books they have available.

I have been fighting with DPN’s ever since I got them.  The past couple of days I have been fighting with them again because I am darned determined to figure this out.  Well finally today I knitted something small and in the round with my dpn’s.  I am ready to take on something new and exciting.  And hopefully not too difficult that may or may not get me poked in the eye with a dpn.
