Going to the knitting store at lunchtime. This is the second time I've lost track of one of my size 0 needles. I'm sure the damn thing is probably on my desk at home or something, but I found out yesterday that size 0 needles are remarkably skilled at slipping through the fabric of the tote bag I use as a purse, and I'd rather not lose any more. I'm going to get two size 0 circulars and knit the Socks of Rassilon on those.

Also I shall get some point protectors to avoid bag puncturing.

*squints at chart from KnitPro* Since when does it go '1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 21, 23' or '3, 5, 7, 9, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 24'?

*mutters darkly and counts up the squares by hand*

The pattern is 36 x 48, not 34 x 60. You'd think I'd've noticed before... oh, well, not like I had started working on that part of the Socks or anything. So. Four size 0 needles, k10 rounds in Corrugated Rib, k1 round in main colour, and then divide stitches so that there are 24 stitches each on needles 1 and 2 and 22 sti-

wait.

*peers at stitch count*

92 + 4 = 96. All I have to do is add one extra stitch per needle and I can put the $&*(&) Seal on front and back.

Okay. yeah. I can do that.
