I have been following a pretty poor diet for the last week and up to today because of the finals and all other stuffMainly I ate bananas, blueberry cupcakes, cereal bars and some kind of fiber wonder yogurt, occasionally eating a piece of cheese and green vegggies and leafy veggiesApparently, my diest is defitient in many nutrientsHowever, all the week long I am feeling unusually high in energy, even unreasonably high, I now exercise three times as much as I used to on my usual, more proper diet, I accomplish more things, feel more positive, and my fatigues just went awayThis is all good, right, but it kind of bothers me that I feel so drastically different from how I usually feelYou could say that I feel highAnd my energy levels never slump throughout the day, which is kind of weirdIt sort of feels like when you're drunk without the somatic part of itIn other words, happy all the timeIs this normal? Should follow this diet to increase my performance and well-being?
NO you can not use regular straight needlesDepending upon WHAT you are making you MIGHT be able to use a circular needleThe whole point of double pointed needles is that you go round and round and round in a circle so you MUST have points on both endsYou can not make a circle with 3 straight needlesYou might want to check at your local yarn supplier for knitting lessons to help you with this project.
If you really don't want to use DPNs you could try using circular needles, if necessary using a technique called magic loop when the cable is too longThere are plenty of tutorials available on the web for this techniqueHowever once you are used to DPNs you will find that you normally will not lose your stitches no matter what type of needle you useYou could also put needle protectors on the ends that you aren't currently usingRelax and try the DPNs using some scrap yarn and practise first.
No you can't use straight needles, or else you won't be able to get the stitches off of themSince DPNs require you to knit in a circle, you are knitting a spiral staircase, so to speak.as opposed to regular knitting, which is like typing on a typewriterSince you don't turn the needles, you can't have their ends blockesBut if you're afraid of stitches falling of the DPNs, use 9 needles, and/or stoppers on the ends.which you'll then have to remove and replace every 30 seconds or so.
Everything you're eating is high in sugar content, try adding some protein to it like eggs and some oily fish plus whizz some of the fruit up with milk to give you your calcium quotaThis should then give you all the nutrients you needIf in doubt take a multi-vitamin tablet each dayHope this helps hun and have a good weekend ;-)
