I couldn't find any straight short 2's in my needle stash so some little DPN plastics from the 60's where pressed into service with a needle tip on one end. Every once in awhile when people found out that I knit, they gave me some of the neatest stuff from their mother's or grandmother's attic (the word "drawers" just sounded very bad here). One lady gave me these little guys, and a piece of thread lace her grandmother was making. It had gotten rust from the steel needles but I am going to figure out how to take a close up anyway and share it. It's very lovely. I think it was for the edging of a nightgown or something.
Finally the weather is cooling off and I don't feel like the robot,Reet, suffering the breakdown of his positronic brain in that ScFi novel!
