GRRRR!

I know that I definitely own a pair of size US 6 dpns. In fact, in my last post, you can see them jutting out of the Eggplant Socks.

I cannot find them.

Now, if I had not used these dpns since Summer '06, that would be perfectly understandable as to why I cannot find them. However, I used them as recently as mid-October of this year, knitting a baby beret that there is no record of on Ravelry. Ah, that's why. I knitted the Baby Beret from the ever-so fabulous (and aptly named) Wacky Baby Knits by Alison Jenkins. Back to my story. My US 6 dpns were used, they were fabulous, and now I cannot find them.

On Saturday morning I actually drove out to Michael's at 9 in the morning to buy these precious tools, but the only size sixes available were in the circular variety ... which I foolishly bought.

My brain has trouble processing two sets of circs for in-the-round projects, especially for socks. Until I either a) find my wandering US 6 dpns (which are in a lovely Brittany wood, if I do so recall, so nice and soft and supple in my hands) or b) buy some cold, hard Susan Bates, for they are cheap and I must save money ... the Thujas shall not be cast on.
