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

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.

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 😄
