First dpn project

I learned how to manage the dpns Monday night. The dork quotient was quite high at the café. It feels really awkward and I wanted to try to knit upside down, if that makes any sense. I kept trying to hold the triangle in the vertical plane instead of in the horizontal plane.

Well, six rows of double moss stitch later, it was a little less awkward but I was dreading the decreases. Oh, I decided that the ribbing I am using is double moss stitch because there are 42 stitches per round and the k2, p2 rib that I was going to use would have had two columns of k2 adjacent to one another where the rounds join. So, since I had already painstakingly finished the first row, I simply decided to reverse the knits and purls like a simple seed or moss stitch. Hence the double moss stitch.

Now the cozy is all done and is damp and blocking on a pint carton. The worsted weight yarn that is the carrier is black and the Cascade Fixation is a dark purple. Obviously, the cozy is slightly more black than purple and that's why it is on this blog.
