Yay! Great advice for knitting with dpn's!  Thanks!
I started the beer cozy. It's pretty easy. But... sometimes I forget about the double points and lean a bit too close to my knitting. I had some interesting welts on my stomach for a while... oops.
I agree- Stitch n' Bitch is the best knitting book i've read by far!

Stich n' Bitch is on it's way to me right now! I've been checking my mailbox compulsively, even though it probably won't arrive until sometime next week.
I've also got Knitting Pretty from the library. I was wondering if anyone's made the beer cozy yet...? I'd like to make it for my boyfriend, but have never used double-pointed needles. Are they difficult to work with?
