Knitting for Ants

I have been informed several times in the last couple of days that I am knitting sweaters for ants. They will be the most well-dressed ants in the kingdom, and we will have ant fashion week and fashion shows and everything.

(For the record, these are size 6-0, that’s 000000, needles; they’re .75mm. The swatch worked out to 17 stitches and 24 rows per inch.)
0.75mm knitting needles are really, really tiny.

        1. I honestly haven’t used them enough to know; that project has been on hold for a bit. They’re so thin, I imagine they’d bend pretty easily. But most extant knitting needles are bent. I don’t think it hinders their efficacy.
