My friend has been high on the magic loop method for awhile but I haven't yet forced her to show me how. I'm not sure "magic" is really a strong enough word to describe this technique. I have bookmarked the linx you posted. I don't really mind dpn's but Hate anything smaller than about size 5. Anyway, thanks again. Thank you, Amber!

Knit them on one long circular needle instead, and then you can knit BOTH at the same time as well. It's the ONLY way to knit socks. You use the magic loop method, <a href="http://knittinghelp.com/knitting/advanced_techniques/" rel="nofollow">videos found here</a> (under small diameter circular knitting). More resources for knitting socks on a long circ are <a href="http://www.misocrafty.squarespace.com/sockknittingresorces-/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It's easier than it looks, and you'll be hooked once you start this way, trust me. Barlyru-

Speaking of the knitted wombs, I curated a gallery show here in January with MK Carroll's original knitted womb and those from the Wombs on Washington project, among others.

I forgot to blame the patriarchy for making me desire to knit socks and therefore making my hands cramp from holding the toothpicks. cramps. that is a really weird word, now that i look at it all typed out. It sounds weird, too. Cramps. Dammit!

I need the name of that yarn. Unless it is sport weight or smaller, in which case I can't be bothered. Who can even see a needle smaller than size 6? I've tried knitting with the toothpicks. It makes my hands cramp up. And yes, I will schlepp my ass down to HCW to buy it, if that is where it came from. I love all ya'll, b.t.w. Lookit women, FOCUS. I need the name of that yarn.

Can't find that luscious yarn, though. I wonder if I could knit a vulva cozy... In honor of your installation, I went out and bought two pair of Brittany knitting needles.
