I'm currently engaged in a very thought-provoking, controversial (but always civilised) debate on religion, feminism, semantics and how they all relate to knitting. There's a born again Christian on there with some ultra-controversial views, but I can't help but like her because; 1. she's super polite and good humoured and 2. she's a knitter, and on Ravelry, and everyone on Ravelry is a cut above the rest of the internet.
It's also quite bizarre to have such a heated discussion amongst people whose avatars are mostly fluffy kittens, babies, and knitted stuffed toys.
Anyway, to the knitting, I'm in a bit of a lull at the moment. I cast on these amazing socks but I'm having a nightmare of a time doing them on 4 dpns. It might be time to try out the 2 x circular needles method. That would be a shame though, seeing as I've just received these magical delights:
DPN protectors from Three Owls Knitting on Etsy.com. My socks will no longer fall apart in my bag! Once again, I have Ravelry to thank for these. I posted a question about how to transport WIPs on DPNs and found out about them from the maker herself.
I also cast on my Flamme Bayadere on some DPNs with the intention of making some sort of mittens, but I'm bored already. It's 100% wool and I'm getting a faint urge to try felting...
My Dashing mitts are finished, and have already been worn around Paris a few times. Taking pictures of both your hands at the same time is a pain in the arse. I used the self timer but because I have to have a fancy DSLR I can't see the view finder in the mirror. Here they are anyway...
