Heeeey --- I'm "little" too, have three kids, and my birthday is March 26th too! If my friend Katrina moves to Portland next year like she is suggesting, we may have to meet! (I assure you I am not a crazy stalker, I just like your blog title ...)
Katrina, I taught myself sort of by accident how to knit on two circs over the weekend. I didn't even really know it was a valid way of knitting, it was just my way of trying to avoid going out and buying a set of size 6 DPNs that I wouldn't use very often. It's not very hard at all, but a bit awkward with the extra needly flopping around while you work. Give it a try, but I think you'll like magic loop better. (which I still haven't tried!)
Thanks for posting your questionnaire!! I'm having fun getting to know my group!
