DPN's???

I use DPN's ALL THE TIME!! Its just easier to use them on smaller projects. Dont have the long straight needles getting in the way.

Well I am 4 1/2 months pregnant with my first baby and i wanted to make little booties. I found a really simple pattern that i can try considering I am such a new knitter. I am working on my first project ever. It's a scarf. It's giving me really good practice holding the neddles and working with the yarn. After that, it's on to my babies booties.

I intend to post a picture of the scarf when I am done with it to get your opinions.

Thanks for asking and thanks for all you tips. You guys are awesome.

Happy knitting to all,
Millie

Perfect for booties! I got a whole set of small circulars for my birthday, so my DONs are now short straights to keep in my purse or small bag for small projects. They're easy on the hands and don't poke people when you KIP on a bus or train. Point protectors are fine. If you never plan to use the needles as straights again (or if one point is damaged!) you can hot-glue some nice beads on the non-business ends.

I love DPNs for knitting little things.
I found a sweater ornament pattern and I used my DPNs. 14sts is just not enough for me to go and dig out a big pair of needles.
