Hi Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! In answer to your question about distributing 20 stitches over 3 DPNs, just divide 20 by 3, which is 6.6666666... So, I would just do six on each of the first two and then the 8 left on the last one is fine. Or you could do 7,7,6. You don't have to have the exact same number of stitches on each needle, just so long as they are as evenly distributed as possible.
Happy Crafting!
