View More Images Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles by Cat Bordhi This technique from Cat will change your sock knitting life. If you're tired of double-pointeds, try two circulars! You'll be amazed how fast it is with so many fewer "intersections". Cat takes you step by step through the process, helping you make sense of which needle is which and how to build the sock anatomy on two circulars. An added benefit of this method is that you can try your sock on at any time to make sure your gauge is correct and that it fits. If you use this method in public, you will get lots of curious glances and questions - spread the love of knitting! Once mastered for socks, you can easily use this technique for any project of small circumference like mittens, gloves, hats and neck bands. Item No. 30113 Retail: $16.95 Your Cost: $10.17 Save 40%
