I am sitting on the floor, staring at a piece of knitting.
Doug: “What’s up?”
Kelly: “I picked up a bunch of stitches along this edge about a year ago and worked some moss stitch. I want to go back to it now, but I don’t know what size needle I was using.”
Doug: “Isn’t there a needle in it?”
Kelly: “Apparently not. I must have needed the needle for something else and pulled it out. I didn’t take any notes.”
Doug: “Really? How could you not write it down?
Kelly: “Well, I didn’t. So now, I have two choices. I can rip out what I’ve done and start again, or I can guess at the needle size I used, knit an inch or so and then see if the gauge changes.”
Doug: “It’s a 6.”
Kelly: “What?”
Doug: “You used a size 6 needle.”
Kelly: “How do you know that?”
Doug: “Every time you can’t find a needle, it’s is size 6.”
Long silence.
Doug: “Besides, it looks like a 6.”
Kelly: “You are sitting way over there, looking at these tiny stitches, and it looks like I knitted them with a size 6 needle?”
Doug: “Yep.”
I pick up the stitches and knit for a bit and check my gauge.
Yep. It’s a 6.

LOL! Thanks for the chuckle!
Gotta love a very supportive (and smart) husband ….. he’s a keeper, but you already know that! Looking forward to hearing more about your project. Karen
Very funny. Keep him. I, too, am looking forward to seeing what you are knitting (with your size 6 needles of course). Have a good day.
Good man!
That’s always the size I don’t have enough too.
“Every time you can’t find a needle, it’s a size 6.” A HA ha ha ha ha ha ha! He knows you.
