Magic Loop or 2 needles

Spike Driver spun a FINE 'yarn':

I was just interested.

Do you use the 4 or 5 needles, 2 circulars, or the magic loop?

I use the 2 circulars or the magic loop more than I do the 4 or 5
needles. I prefer the Magic Loop.

I use the 2 Boye needle sets I have until I have need for a smaller
needle than I has. If I have a heavier yarn use the Denise set for
the 40" Magic Loop. I was lucky and caught the smaller long
circulars when a local store was closing.

It took me a while to get used the the 2 circulars and the Magic
Loop. I use them both for sweater sleeves once and a while. The
author of the Magic Loop book mentioned it, no seam.

Right now I am making leg warmers for Gail. When she is up her legs
get cold setting in the wheel chair all the time, she keeps a blanket
over them.

I know we have a few ladies and gents that make socks. I wonder how
many we have?

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

I can do on two circs, I can do on one circ too, but I end up using 5
DPN's 99 percent of the time!

Five needles, or two circulars. Magic Loop just looks like too damned
much work.

I did at first Wooly until I go used to it.

I find it easier for me than 5 needles. My hands are slowly becoming
more numb do to the nerve disorder. The magic loop is easier for me to
handle.

I like my wood and bamboo double points Noreen. As in the previous
message the metal ones are a pain some times.

Say hello to NAVY!

I hope all is going well for you. I have been very busy and have not
had a chance to check in often.

Let me know what you think.

I use 4 dpns. I haven't tried two circs or the magic loop though. They
are both on my list of things to do some day.

Only knitting first pair of socks ( finish them tonight yippee) And found
knitting them on 4 dpn works great for me. Have looked up the info on
circular needles and magic loop and decided to stick with what works for the
moment

My socks have all been made on 5 dpns, either bamboo or birch. I've never
tried doing them on circs as the dpns work well for me.
