Patcon Feasible- and you have to be crazy to do anything worthwhile! Read a book called the Road to Gobblers Knob by Geoff Hill - he went from Chile to Alaska on a motorbike. Go for it...or maybe you have!

Patcon Did she cast on using two needles? Or was it using a really long 'tail', holding one needle in her right hand and using the tail in her left? Sorry that dosn't sound very descriptive!
