There are apparently several very inventive methods, but the one I've heard of most often involves creating a loop of some sort in the cable for the circular needle--there are actually books available on the technique, here in the U.S. Not something I've tried (I'm plenty happy knitting mine one at a time with DPNs), but I've heard of them. You could probably find something online pretty easily. I just googled for "magic loop" and "knitting," and came up with these links, among many: http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/mloop.html http://www.knitaddicted.com/files/MagicLoop.pdf
Hope that gives you some idea of what the technique is.... --Sue in Montana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Audrey Bergeron-Morin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: knitting stockings > > Using two circular needles to knit one stocking or even two at a time > > is a technique suggested to me by a knitting group that I sometimes go to. > > How do you knit two stockings at the same time? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
