Doing the Magic Loop VS Double Pointed Needles

In my time running the studio I have come to realise that there are certain dividing lines between the various kinds of knitters. There are those who hate double pointed needles (Susan M for example) and would much prefer to use the Magic Loop. And there are those who hate the Magic Loop (Kevin W) and would much prefer to use the dreaded double pointed needles---you can see which side of the equation I am on!) And then there are those who hate DPN's but actually don't know how to do the Magic Loop and so avoid projects like those pictured above altogether. For the avoidance group,

knit-one-one

is having a workshop this Sunday May 18. Ms Punkrawkpurl, who is true magic looper, will have you doing the loop in no time at all. Then you will be tackling cuffs, socks, bag bottoms, hat tops,gloves, mitts and goodness knows what all. There will be no stopping you.

All of the above pics were done or could have been done, using the Magic Loop Technique.

PS For the double pointed crowd, Noe Knit is having a workshop on that topic!
