There may come a day when I fall in love with double pointed needles, but until then, I really appreciate projects written for two single pointed ones. I made a ball with just one color and with cheap red heart yarn on size 5 needles (as my smaller ones were holding other projects). It took less than an hour and turned out pretty cute. Thanks!
