Started Dead Fishy Hat...Rubber band helped keep stitches on needles

I've been wanting to make the Fish hat (dead or alive) at Knitty.com for a while.  Now that I can use double pointed needles it's time to give it a try.  Not too far into the project, my stitches started slipping off the needles.  It was after store hours so running to the store to buy those rubber stoppers wasn't an option.  Cutting a rubber band, poking a hole in it and slipping it on the needles worked really well. Problem solved!  But I have to remember to get some of those stoppers.  Can't wait to finish this hat, it's so cute.  I've had to modify it a little to fit a little child.  I hope it works out.
