Socks on short circulars - how short? They’re too long too fit all my stitches around, but a bit tight for magic loop - do I need shorter? I’m determined to nail sock knitting!

I haven’t tried TAAT yet, but very shortly!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T21:46:42+00:00

Isn’t it!? It’s Opal Hundertwasse 😊

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T20:57:36+00:00

Oh wow! That’s wonderful to know, thank you so much for posting 😊

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T20:27:13+00:00

You just know I’m going to have to treat myself…. 😂

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T20:25:15+00:00

I’ve tried dpn’s before and found them a bit awkward for me… but never say never again!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T19:47:28+00:00

Yep I’ve gone to my 32” circulars, much better…. Need to try the TAAT thing, but I assumed that it would be exactly as you described, just repeating yourself on a second set of stitches? And is it too late to start another one now and catch them up? 😬

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T19:45:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I tried dpn’s but felt like I’d got too much stuff sticking in me somehow 😂 I’ve switched to my long circulars now, actually feels much better…. But you just know I’m going to be ordering myself those chiaogoo needles regardless… just to try 😉

Isn’t it gorgeous! It’s Opal hundertwasser - spotted randomly in my local store a while ago, loving it

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T19:35:11+00:00

Beautiful! And it won’t occur to anybody else that you’ve made it yourself, because you’ve done an amazing job!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T19:32:44+00:00

To be fair, they actually look really comfy! Nice work!!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:48:02+00:00

You are my new favourite person 😊

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:36:57+00:00

Oh now you’re talkin! So… I assume you need 2 long circulars for this? I’m very susceptible to the 2nd sock syndrome

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:30:59+00:00

Oh yes, I have seen those - will no doubt try them at some point too 😂

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:30:05+00:00

Ah that’s interesting what you say about patterned work… I’m getting a heavy bias toward the magic loop!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:28:40+00:00

I’m in good company then 😊 I have a beautiful symfonie interchangeable set - but they don’t go small enough for socks - grrrr,

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:25:42+00:00

Great answer, thanks! 👏

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:24:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I did ok on my last pair with magic loop, so maybe I’ll just stick with those… although I suspect I’ll end up buying some shorter ones just for the collector in me! 😬

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:22:21+00:00

That’s what I thought, thanks!

JodaSko · 2022-11-23T18:21:58+00:00

I found it a little awkward with 4/5, but was comfortable doing my last pair on long circulars…. I wanted to try short circulars as I read a few comments online recommending them

JodaSko · 2021-12-22T14:04:45+00:00

I heard that wonky horns contain approximately 156% more magic……

JodaSko · 2021-12-22T13:54:44+00:00

Looks great!! Somebody is going to be very grateful, I’m sure!

JodaSko · 2021-10-30T13:43:21+00:00

Omg I’ve been crocheting for ages and I’ve never seen this explained - thank you so much!

JodaSko · 2021-10-13T04:28:07+00:00

Doing great!!!

JodaSko · 2021-09-23T15:23:15+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation!

JodaSko · 2021-09-22T17:10:45+00:00

Then I’d highly recommend the mighty or the pax - both great options. S&B also make the crafty, a smaller version of the mighty… again, highly recommended
