Two Sticks And Some String !

This is me, an opinionated, politically progressive Canadian Lace Knitter who's lived and worked in western Canada, and on the east coast of the USA; a multi-skilled person who's been recently re-elected to public office, has a Class One driver's license, a human services professional in direct service, middle and senior management positions, and a MOM!

Above, the on the Silk Wedding Garter circular needle (dpns were TOO short!) , below, cast onto 1.75mm dpns. Silk thread was purchased at Saftler's Fabric and Sewing supply store in Whitman, Massachusetts; this thread was intended for Japanese embroidery. The green thread is a strand of DMC Cebelia Size 30, included in the picture for size comparison. The cast-on is done on the two needles together, but as a single-needle cast-on, which makes a beautiful, smooth and even cast-on.
