Just started knitting on DPNs (I think I'm obsessed?)
I got my first set of DPNs to make an i-cord for a project. After seeing some pretty complicated configurations from people on knitting socials, I've been terrified to use them for anything else. But I decided on a whim that I wanted some fingerless gloves, and every pattern I saw online used DPNs. So I bit the bullet and looked up a tutorial and now...I can't stop.
I love juggling all the needles in my hand. I love the weird trapezoid it makes. I love seeing the stitches move around and grow and be vaguely glove-shaped. I have so many assignments due for my M.A., I have a million Christmas gifts to make, and yet I cannot stop staring at these little guys. The entire time I was in class today, I kept thinking about coming home to my mass of needles. I love normal knitting too, but this has really been scratching an itch. Does anyone else get this excited about DPNs? Or is this weird?
