@magslhalliday @knitting Oh no! I used to live in fear of something like this with DPNs and had visions of dropping them and having them roll down the whole bus. Big part of the reason I learned to just do everything magic loop instead! 😅

Bet you looked really pro recovering from that misstep though.

I confess that I stick a point protector/cap on any free end of a DPN.

It means moving caps around and pulling the caps in and out of my little handy zip bag (where stitch markers, yarn needles and my emergency save-the-day crochet hook also live). But it saves a lot of internal swearing. I’m so used to it that by now when I don’t have the right gauge needles for a small project, I’ll just use a pair of DPN with caps stuck on the free ends.

For public transit, I eventually settled on afghan crochet mostly. Little can go wrong. One does get odd looks as few people know what to make of the long hooks or the technique.

I do this all the time :) I even yanked out a circular doing 2 circ method once, because I forgot it was not a DPN.

Ah that's the worst, I used to get it really bad too but the last few years by some miracle it's just sort of...gone away? I can even read in cars now and everything, ten years ago that was a sure way to get ill. So I guess what I'm saying is there's always hope.

Still always carry motion sickness pills though of course, just in case, those things are a lifesaver!

@kurobita Note how it didn't actually put any of us off though! Totes worth it 😄
