Perhaps one good thing came out of that I learned knitting so late… I only bought interchangeable needle tips :-DDD
At first I loved having super long cables because I was so afraid to loose stitches, now I prefer shorter once in generell, so that I also often pull out a loop of the too long cable, as I bought more long cables in the beginning instead of the shorter ones I need today. But I fear the problem only comes because I have so many open projects on shorter cables waiting to get knit…
