I had my kiddo bouncing around the office being playful (aka distracting), so I forgot to mention in my earlier post that - failing all my other suggestions - you can use regular needles and keep putting the stitches back onto the needle you just knit them off (without turning the work)... Does that make sense? These things always seem more confusing when you type them as opposed to just being able to show someone!

I'm so sorry that your cardigan is too small for DS! Your DD will be thrilled to have some clothes for her doll, though, I'll bet.

Better luck with your "good" wool!
