The perils of public bus knitting.

LOTS of bus travel for me today, so naturally I brought my sock project. Forgot I needed to frog the start of sock two and cast on again though. In public. Uhoh, pressure.

Well it is my pleasure to inform you that this morning I successfully remembered how to do a figure 8 cast on without looking up the instructions, for the first time ever ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I guess hardship leads to success, or something.

@thegiddystitcher @knitting Iโ€™ve used magic loop but now Iโ€™ve mastered DPNs I rather like the bewildered looks little kids give the knitting because it looks so confusing!

I like to tell my nieces that I'm doing really complicated magic, and you can tell because it requires so many extra wands! ๐Ÿ˜‚
