Socks on one circular??

[Hazelgil]

This may seem like a stupid question but how do i knit socks on 2 or 1 circular, one at a time? :shrug:
I bought 2 pairs of 2.75mm circulars and everything goes fine until it comes to knitting from the needles next to each other, i can't get them to bend right and don't want to risk ripping my sock in the process. I haven't got the space to manover them correctly :??


I read about some mini circulars that clover made, which have now been discontinued i think. They weren't made available in the uk. Does anyone know where i might be able to find some, or some simular??
Thanks
Hazel

Check out the book Sensational Knitted Socks. (http://www.amazon.com/Sensational-Knitted-Socks-Charlene-Schurch/dp/1564775704/sr=1-1/qid=1169770182/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-3507151-2385412?ie=UTF8&s=books)... all of the socks in the book give directions for knitting on 2 circular needles.

The technique for knitting on one circular needle is called "magic loop".

Any has a video for both techniques on this page (http://knittinghelp.com/knitting/advanced_techniques/).


For 2 circular knitting (my preferred method for all small diameter items) you'll need circs about 20 inches long. For magic loop, you'll need one reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally long one (40").
