I like to use magic loop or two circular needles for one sock. The double pointed needles make me crazy.
You can knit house socks in worsted weight if you want to finish your first pair faster.
I'm no sock expert. One always ends up a little bigger... :P But I think they are a fun project to make and wear.
thank you for your insight! I looked up a tutorial for the magic loop method and I maaay give it a try after I have more experience with circular needles :)
It's one of those things that takes a lot of describing, so it seems complicated, bit when you're actually doing it it's surprisingly simple.
