Avocado asked for one of those earflap caps that all the young people are wearing these days (this sentence should be imagined in tones of wheezing, cane-waving old age). I went out, got some nice plain yarn, pulled out the double-pointed needles I'd gotten for another project I never quite managed to get around to, and...
pfft. Damn. I cannot get the damned thing started. Cast on six stitches, distribute two stitches to each of three DPs, join and knit one round, then start the pattern. I suspect that after that first or second round is done, I'll be flyin' by. But I have now started the cap twenty times and each time either it's gotten totally snarled and unworkable, or some of the stitches have slid off the non-working DP. If anyone out there in cyberland has any tips for me as to how to get this wretched cap (listed as "easy" on the directions) started, I would be profoundly grateful. I'll send you some lemon jelly. Or make you fudge. Honest.
