I still have the tingling/numbness in my pinky fingers, but that does not stop me from being unnecessarily verbose (totally the opposite of my Japanese class, in which I say the stupidest, most boring sentences in the world).
I've already started the Bold and Bulky Mini Cardi, but I had to frog it because my gauge was too tight. Apparently I am a tight knitter (but not with worsted weight on size 8s--for some reason I always come out too big on that), which is probably why I have the hand tingles. I frogged and restarted it a size up, and hopefully that will fit around my ample bosom (I also have an ample midsection, but I don't have to worry about that with this sweater, yay?).
I tried the YOs the correct way, and lo and behold (or, as OCR renders Joel Chandler Harris: "10 and beholes!"), they're all tight and small instead of huge and loopy. I thought I was just a sucky knitter, but it turned out I was a STUPID knitter! Well at least it is a brain problem and not a lack of skill (again, unlike my Japanese class, which is all bad brain and lack of skill--can you tell Japanese has been kicking my ass?).
