Google Embryo posted:That's what I was thinking but I wanted confirmation. I really especially dpns because I find it almost impossible to take my knitting with me anywhere since they're so awkward. I have a really long commute and knitting makes the time go by MUCH faster. You can use two circulars, or the magic loop method in place of dpn's in any project in the round, given that you have the right length needles, or the number of circulars needed. I started off doing socks on dpns, and then found I was getting wrist pain from holding the needles so tightly at needle changes to prevent ladders. I tried two circulars and found them to be too 'fiddly' for my taste, learned how to magic loop and never looked back. I've done sleeves and hats using magic loop, and it works fine. The only problem is finding circular needles in the right size that are long enough! For some reason, I've never had trouble with holes, or ladders where the needle change happens, and my wrist pain went away. Bye bye dpns!

Micomicona posted:COVET COVET COVET I've had the Denise circular set, and the Boye set too, and I prefer the Knitpicks Options (metal version) circular set over all of them. There are less cable choices, since you can't connect different cable lengths together (they really need to fix that!) but the needles are pointier and the cables themselves are nice and supple. The only other gripe is that the needle size isn't printed on the tips anywhere (how the hell do you leave that out?) so you have to use a needle sizer to figure out which ones to use. I just keep a needle sizer in one of the pouches with the cables though.
