So several days ago a friend taught a sort of mini magic loop class to several of the ladies I knit with (including me) and as a result these tigery socks are back on the needles after two years. I’d made my first attempt with a 32-inch needle and I find the 40-inch one to be much more pleasant. I’m not keen on the purly toe but I know I can fix that on future socks so I won’t hold that against this pair. I think I’ll stay mainly a DPN sock knitter but for patterns needing a size 0 needle I may find this as an option.
