Miriam, good for you. I just never have tried. I think they look NEAT, -- well, I'll have to see about that if I live long enough to do it! I have so much stuff started now. The State Flower Embroidered blocks quilt top I finished is now packed and ready for mailing. Then, since this is an heirloom that is going in my son's room, I got to thinking about the drapes which are in his room. I think I would like to embroider some State Flower Blocks (if I can find the transfers), put them together with sashing and make a new set of drapes to match the quilt and bed skirt! Neat if I can manage it! Enjoy your knitting -- I should practice that art more!

Tammi, I have mastered cable - it is very easy. About as easy as that quilt block I showed you. Once you see how it is done you won't be disturbed by cables at all.

Now that I think of it, the ones I saw may have been regular DPNs...

I wouldn't be surprised to find that there were both in the case. Socks being the big deal they were back then. That said, the ones still in the case that are original to the case are 7".
