ysobelI have officially1 finished the purple hedgehog that I think makes sense to nobody but me.
(1: the job of attaching the eyelash-yarn spikes is horribly shoddy and lopsided and argh but I made myself call it done anyway)
Next project is daleky fingerless mitts, and I have discovered several things:
1) whatever mystery yarn (in all probability acrylic) I am using for the black is terrifically grabby against bamboo needles
2) Red heart acrylic (oldschool variety) is not half as bad
3) I can still knit!
4) except for casting on, which is still a pita, but crochet cast-on is my new best friend
5) knitting does still hurt, so I am taking it only a bit at a time
6) partly because of that, I am about the slowest knitter evar omg
7) (yesterday's output: seven rows of 30-stitch fabric, worsted weight)
8) If I were smart, I would be doing these on a worsted-weight-suitable loom instead
9) (I am not smart)
10 (I also do not have a ww-suitable loom, just bulky and extra-fine-sock)
11) Yahtzee is remarkably talented at picking up bamboo needles without harming them
