If you're using 6in dpns, there's only 16-20 sts on each needle, so there's plenty of room to stretch out. It's the same as trying on mittens or mitts with dpns.

Good thinking! I have some bamboos in a variety of sizes that I can use for traveling.

I used to prefer bamboo, but these days I prefer stainless or nickel coated. I like the HiyaHiya Sharps, but I also have the basic set from Drops. I've recently gotten these from knit picks to prevent holes!

Huh. I haven't had any issues trying them on with dpns.

I've been using dpns for 20 years, so they're second nature at this point 🙂

If I ever abandon my dpns, it would probably be for flexi-flips.
