DPN Project Success!








Yea me! I've been getting sooo frustrated lately with my stitches falling off the DPN's in my knitting bag, that I decided to take matters into my own hands. A trip to Lowe's an about a 1/2hr of concentration brings me to this very functional DIY DPN Project holder. I had the stretchy clear beading cord, and the beads on hand. I've seen these on Etsy and around the web but they use these safety screw cover thingies which my Lowe's didn't have in the right diameters as to be practical. But the helpful guy that man's the little hardware kiosk came up with a most excellent substitution. Mine are the caps that go on the bottom of chairs! Works like a charm, and its pretty!

Brilliant! And probably cheaper than the ones from Knit Picks

No doubt! Ubercheap!! I'm trying to figure out how to embellish the caps at the ends w/seed beads for a potential Etsy store of my own!
