I learned to knit at 10 by knitting socks on DP needles. But I also so the book for knitting with the 2 circular needles, It leaves smooth stitches between needles where Dp can leave a gap. Love your blog. I just love knitting socks on 2 circular needles it is a dream come true. I learned to knit at 10 by knitting socks on DP needles.

Of course it's a personal choice, but myself, I don't want to support a business that is apparently oblivious to the community that supports it. http://yarnstorm.blogs.com/knitblog/2006/01/squishy_lemon_c.html I'm not trying to start a yarn battle. It's just information, do with it what you will. :) Regarding the negative about CTH… it was Jane from Yarnstorm who had a big problem.

Easy and small to bring along anywhere. I only wish handpainted yarn was cheaper! :-) I love stripes, in all kinds, but would love to try to knit some socks with different colours (not selfstryping) some time. Yet to come!

I just cast on for the Elfine socks in my first attempt at magic loop. I'm so excited! And two at once using magic loop--amazing. Thanks for the great post!

Artyarns Ultramerino 4 makes wonderful, warm, soft socks, but since it is 100% merino, and not too tightly spun, it does not last like a sock yarn with some synthetic fiber, like nylon. But, oh-so buttery soft :) I also love Koigu yarn for socks (KPPPM, or the solid colors).
