I have some last-minute knitting (as usual) to do before Christmas.  This morning before I left for work, I grabbed a bag of yarn and double point knitting needles to knit a small bunny.

Only the knitting needles that were in the bag of yarn (US 5) were not the size needed (US 1).

So I had to substitute with what I had.

Cable needles.  And they were the correct size albeit shorter than I like.  Only four inches in length.  Fortunately it’s a small knit and I’m managing.
