Yes, your mom can knit anything. I, myself, find myself limited to yarn. And plastic grocery bags... 2. Cables rock!!! I highly recommend "Cable Needle Freedom", which tells you how to do cables without the pesky cable needle. Which is good, if, in fact, your cable needle has been stolen and hidden by one of your cats... 3. Knitting addiction: My personal theory is that with each stitch you make, microscopic fibers are released into the air, which you breathe. Exposure to these fibers leads to fiber addiction, the symptoms of which can only be alleviated by the application of more, and more expensive yarn. What... didn't I warn you???

No need to worry if you're going to snag your driver or poke your neighbor. When you come to the end of the row, just start knitting (or purling) back the other way. Voila! Anybody who can deal so gracefully with a whiny 5-year-old can do it. Circular needles are, in my experience, great for cars and other travelling conveyances.
