This doesn’t look like much right now but this is going to be Great Uncle Angus. Remember I mentioned him. He’s from Jean Greenhowe’s MacScarecrow Clan. But do you notice something, a problem I ran into?

I needed needle size US 2 for him and the only 2s I have are double pointed. They aren’t very big and so the stitches are falling off the ends. I guess I could use another needle and knit with three needles but what a pain. I will have to get some new 2s. I wish I had thought of that when I was at the yarn store.

Great Uncle Angus? Where is Dad? Did Dad have a horrible bagpipe incident? Ha! Can’t wait to see how cute he is when you finish him.

I’ve read some rubberbands on the ends should help keep the stitches from sliding off, the produce rubber bands work if you have them. Can’t wait to see the finished product

How about erasers? Can you put erasers on the ends?

I love reading your comments. I try to reply to all of you but get sidetracked sometimes. So, if you don't hear from me, I'm sorry. But please know that I do appreciate it!
