I just wanted to pop on and say hi. I am really looking forward to casting on the celebration socks. I am teaching myself magic loop right now and will cast on as soon as my first "practice pair" are complete.
I do all mine on two circs, two at a time. I've thought about trying Magic Loop, but since I already have at least two 24" circs in all the sizes i need, it seems pointless now to go and buy the long ones. It sure looks cool, though!
I only do magic loop. It's easy once you get your brain around where the knitting is supposed to live on the loop. Sure makes it a lot easier to carry knitting around with me.
Magic loop sounds interesting, I have never tried it, but I think I have to some of these days.Looking forward to see your socks.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, I do all my socks magic looop way :)

ReplyDeleteI do ML 2 at a time on one 40" circ. I love it because when I'm done I have my pair of socks complete. Welcome to the club!
ReplyDeletei just learned magic looping - www.knittinghelp.com has brief video about magic loop - it helped me get a visual picture of it, at least!

ReplyDeleteI do magic loop too, mostly two at a time- unless it's fairisle...I've found it easier to knit fairisle on 4 DPN's, get better tension and all that.
