Snood Snippets

Since I enjoy ren faires and swing dancing, I really want a snood; since I can, I decided to make one. I found this awesome pattern from Twisted Stitches, and also saw that another knitter on Ravelry had made it with yarn I have in my stash. Score!


But. I don't have circular needles.


I do have knifty knitter looms. That'll work. Right?


Sadly no. 


I was hopeful, mainly because it was so perfectly round. I started the lace pattern with the help of two straight needles at first, then one straight and a crochet hook, maneuvering just the two stitches I was working at a time. Oh boy. It kinda worked. For at least the first two steps of the pattern (up til row 12). But it was torturous, and I'm really not sure it'll come out usable because the work doesn't flip. I'm not even sure that's relevant, but my fingers hurt. 


End verdict: the snood will have to wait until I get some proper circulars.
