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.

@magslhalliday @knitting Oh no! I used to live in fear of something like this with DPNs and had visions of dropping them and having them roll down the whole bus. Big part of the reason I learned to just do everything magic loop instead! ๐Ÿ˜…

Bet you looked really pro recovering from that misstep though.

@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˜‚

I have dropped a DPN on my ferry ride.... It's a cramped, stay seated the whole time experience. Trying the wiggle around to the point that I could get it while bouncing around... Do not recommend
