The Cat

Cat Bordhi's technique with two circular needles left me cold at first, leaving me with molehills in my socks and a tangle of clanking needles. But other than that the technique was easy and fast and I decided to try it again with the Shuj socks. So I sprung for a couple of #2 Addi-Turbos and set off. Maybe because both needles were the same length, maybe because moles can't root under k2p2 ribbing or maybe because I'm so fed up with dpns...anyhow things seem to be going well. The blue alpaca I'm using shows well against the silver needles and so far the circs show no tendancy to drop out of the fabric. This is a good thing.

I've also learned that Cat self-published her book. Another good thing or this technique might be lost to us. Many people can design patterns; how many ever come up with a new and better way of knitting?
