Also thought about leaving it as a design feature, but looked like one of those old warped ladders with ever widening rungs!

As for reducing ladders on the dpns -- it's not a problem I've ever had, but when I'm working with a slippery yarn, I tighten up the *second* stitch on the needle, and that keeps everything even. Have you given that a try? Or, you could make the ladders a design feature, lol.

I love the perpetual smile that llamas seem to have. Fortunately, I've not yet bit spit upon by one of these funny creatures! Looks like you had just awesome weather for traveling too. Gorgeous gorgeous fields! Any tips on reducing ladders on dpns? What pretty llamas, all three! I love the perpetual smile that llamas seem to have.
