Knit Double Pointed Needles Is A Great Take Along Project
Small projects like booties or socks are great also because they are easy to take along, like on a trip or to the park And they have the added bonus of being quickly finished. You have to agree it is so empowering to actually finish a project.
No Guilt Necessary To Have More Than One Project Going At a Time
Most knitters have a half dozen projects started and have a little knitter’s guilt for not finishing them before starting another “must do” project.
But knitting small projects like knitting for baby, you can luxuriate in the pleasure of finishing a project. And I always love having knitted baby gifts completed and waiting for the next baby. You know how they just keep coming along, and when they do, You’re ready! It is such a win-win proposition.

What a really thorough explanation of sock knitting! Did you know that there are some new flexible and ‘bent’ (on purpose!) DPNs that make sock knitting a lot easier? I describe them in detail in “DPNS vs Circulars: The Ultimate Guide to Knitting In The Round” at my blog, https://knittingneedleguide.com/how-to-choose-circular-double-pointed-needles/. It’s still up to individual preference, but I hope this helps people feel more confident with their sock knitting!
That is a great idea. I didn’t know anything about this. That’s exciting, thank you for sharing that with us. Susan
