Not quite hopeless

So.. I've come to the part of the hat I'm working on where I need to switch to double pointed needles.. of which I have NONE. :/ Yes, I did start a project I wasn't ready for.. so what?
Anyway.. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to pick up a set from any of the big ass craft stores in town.. I was wrong. So very wrong. I just don't understand it. Huge craft stores and the needle selection is useless.. No problem right? There is one local yarn store; surely they have a standard sized set of double pointed needles.. Well, I'll never know. Their hours of operation are as follows: Only open when I'm at work. Period. So after throwing a small ( read: large ) hissy fit, I decided I would just order them from someone online. So i search around and guess what? My local FABRIC store has a great selection of just what i'm looking for! yup.. the fabric store.. so I'm on my way to buy my needles with a big ol' grin!
I hope to finish the hat tonight. I'll even post a picture or two I"m sure.
