Thank you so much! Once I got into the rhythm of them, I found them pretty fun.
Do you use short circular needes for double pointed needles?
I used DPNs. I have a short cord (16") for an interchangeable circular needle set (Hiya Hiya Sharps), but the length of the needles is far too long for the cord, and it's almost impossible to knit something with a 8" circumference.
I always wondered because I could never get circulars to work well. Thought I was crazy lol
I'm not a diehard for DPNs, but I can't justify yet one more knitting purchase for FlexiFlips, which is the exact kind of knitting device I would prefer to use for socks.
Pattern: "Crazy Over You Socks" on Ravelry
Yarn used: I've lost the name of the colorway, but it was a small dye lot from an indie dyer in the last town I lived in.
The look of these made me think of a patchwork quilt or a Frankenstein amalgamation!
These are stunning!!!!! Thank you for sharing. The tag didn’t work, I don’t know if it’s because you’re on kbin?
I'm on kbin.social, so it's possible there's some lack of federation still happening or user error on my part for tagging. 🤷🏽♀️
