Thank you everyone for your feedback. I used a device called a "Wonder Knitter" that's made by a company named Clover. Its a little plastic cheating device that allowed me to make a pair of flashes in about 30 minutes. Not too shabby considering that it was around $8.00. I'm finishing up some Sgian Brews and antler kilt pins, so those will be posted soon. Thank you for your welcome, and I'm glad to be a part of such a well dressed community!
