If it gets too small I'll use the 2 circs method and be much happier than using those dpns. That's what's great about knitting.

Two small circs work for me, but revert to dpns for the "back and forth" on the heel....those tiny circs seemed like a good idea but the needle portion is so small that my hands hurt from the adjustment in holding on to the needles. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is my motto :)Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-53296566859336616302012-01-05T19:44:43.238-05:002012-01-05T19:44:43.238-05:00I'm in the dpn club too.

In other words, I can whip through 20 sts on a dpn in less time than it would take to knit a few sts and slide, knit and slide, etc. The bonus is that you're working in ribbing, so you don't even have to worry about laddering in the way you would if the sleeve was in stocking st. And I still prefer my ancient Aero dpns over everything else!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-81628710926258500252012-01-05T19:03:45.982-05:002012-01-05T19:03:45.982-05:00I would say we are a DPNs duo.I would say we are a DPNs duo.Brendaknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810199856912743651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248442620674517618.post-82423910886412099752012-01-05T15:37:56.941-05:002012-01-05T15:37:56.941-05:00Totally agree about dpns.

I find some of the 16" circulars are more awkward than other, some of them have a slightly shorter needle that allows for the circle to form a little easier. But you cannot beat dpn's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
