If you wear glasses full time, I’m curious…how many times per week do you end up (intentionally or accidentally) sleeping in them all night?

@ansate a second vote for Nimble Needles tutorials in general. I could listen to Norman talk about knitting all day.
I usually avoid laddering by using the thinnest most flexible cable I can for the needles or project I’m using. I eventually transitioned from the Addi interchangeables to Chiagoo’s because they have adapters that let me attach a cable for a finer needle than the one I’m using. The more flexible the cable the less tension it applies at the loop point.
If a finer cable isn’t possible than use a cable that’s longer than suggested! The extra length will do a figure 8 thing at the loop points and take all the tension off the stitches and ladders across the transition.
