Are you tired of keeping stitches on double pointed needles?
Do you find it difficult to avoid the "ladder" gap when using double pointed needles?
Do you have trouble making the necessary decreases when knitting in the round on circular needles?
Maybe it's time to try using two circular needles when knitting in the round. It sounds more difficult that it is. You simply divide your stitches between the two needles and continue to keep the stitches on those needles. For example, if you are making socks with 80 stitches, you knit across 40 stitches on needle 1. Then knit the remaining 40 stitches on needle 2. On the next row, you return to needle 1 and repeat.
When you use this technique you can avoid the "ladder" gap between the needles. You can also select longer circular needles, making it easier to keep your stitches on the needles. Longer circular needles also allow you to work on larger projects in the round, like sleeves.
