I need to bite the bullet and learn so I can knit all the things I want to knit. It seems that all the patterns I love and want to knit call for DPNs.Merfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700160298373076278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602642342170559195.post-25286648138647954482010-04-28T09:54:42.576-07:002010-04-28T09:54:42.576-07:00I think it's not so difficult to knit with DPN...I think it's not so difficult to knit with DPNs. You just need the right mindset and the basic idea in your head about knitting circular stuff. Eventually you will learn that the hardest part in knitting with DPNs is the cast on.<br /><br />But I really need to learn magic loop too! I really like to knit with DPNs because they look quite impressive at school, especially when you're knitting cables... but I should try new techniques too, even when I don't really need them :PAmoenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777425926955582505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602642342170559195.post-17635646459774671882010-04-27T18:44:55.519-07:002010-04-27T18:44:55.519-07:00Thats defiantly one of my goals!

Just easier somehow. Maybe because the stitches are split in half and I can think in terms of back and front, or top and bottom.<br /><br />I got Fiber Trends #2013 about the Magic Loop by Bev Galeskas as a LYS and it really helped me.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733346985456874136noreply@blogger.com
