In Extremis

 


I had to take Jack to the doctor yesterday. No problem, I thought, I'll knit in the car instead of knitting at home. But when I opened my knitting bag, I discovered that I'd left the fourth needle at home! Oh my hat, as my friend Fran would say. I managed to keep knitting by pulling the needle out of one lot of stitches and then replacing it when I got to those stitches. Repeatedly. It was laborious and inefficient, but hey, I got up to thumb level and occupied 90 minutes. And managed to finish the gloves by the end of the day.

  1. Good job! I'm not sure I would have thought of that. I probably would have just put my knitting away and suffered through the wait.

  3. I can imagine knitting with 3 needles couldn't have been easy with the two needles with stitches trying to collapse together! Well done and now you have a lovely pair to show off.
