And more on-topic than my last post, I went to a class at my LYS and finally learned how to do socks on two circulars -- WOO HOO! No more broken skinny doublepoint needles!!!
Didn't think I could learn it, the cast-on and first couple rounds felt like I had fourteen fingers and seventeen needles going. Second time around, success! It goes so fast, and I haven't got ladders at all.
