What I want is to either make another mitered crosses or a log cabin; one requires k2t and both require pick up and knit - as long as neither of them requires a winch and other heavy machinery it'll be okay. (Although if it's springy enough for a center double decrease I'll be delighted. But it doesn't look like a yarn that would tolerate that well.)

Either way, #7 (US) needles, so not too small.
