Simple Baby Socks...

... on 2 circular needles!

This is the first time I've used 2 circulars for knitting socks and I think it is a much quicker method and also gives a much nicer finish, without the lines that inevitably appear when you knit on 4 needles...

Zauerball on 2 circs

I love the way that, when you knit tiny socks with sock wool (this is Crazy Zauberball - but it works with other 'mixture' sock wools) that you get two almost completely different socks!  Sometimes I actually knit four or more socks so that I can choose a 'pair' that are reasonably alike!

I'm re-writing my Simple Baby Sock pattern for the 2 circulars, but I need a bit more time to test it out.  I'm going to use this yarn...

Opal Sweet and Spicy

...for the next pair.

These look great. I can see them with little brown boots! Very cute!

They look really cute Penny. I usually knit my socks on two circs too, usually two at a time. I do swap at times and knit using DPNS, just to keep my hand in.
