Almost-Finished Object

After all the non-knitting content, here is the Valdani crochet thread bag I've been knitting for lo these many months.

When I was knitting stockinette, the top of the bag was curling up severely. I switched to ribbing more so it wouldn't curl at the top than to draw it in, although the cotton has drawn in a little.

What you can't see is that halfway up the ribbing, I put in double yarnovers to make drawstring holes. Stealth Brain finally handed me a solution for how to space them in the k3, p3 ribbing: k1, k2tog, YO twice, p2tog, p1.

That way, on the following plain round, I was automatically knitting one and purling one into the double YO.

The needles are literal eyed needles, Dritz doll needles, that measure 1.1mm right on the button, 0.1mm larger than a 5-0.

About six more rounds will finish the bag. Then I'll bind off and probably make a pair of fingerloop braids for drawstrings.
