At first, I thought the method of two socks going on one long circular needle to be cumbersome, confusing and complicate but I think I've finally started to get it down. Currently I'm working on the "practice socks" at the beginning of the book. I'm just using Peaches n Creme cotton yarn since this is just practice and I had the yarn laying around after making cloths. I took a picture of my progress. I used a different color for each sock since I'm just learning.
Has anyone reading this blog tried this out? I think it's also called "magic loop". The needle I'm using here is an Addi Natura Size #4, 40inch circular. I have a feeling once I get to the heel and gusset, this is going to get a heck of a lot harder.

I haven't tried Magic Loop yet, though I've picked up a needle to try it.
You'll have to post how the progress goes.
The technique is somewhat similar to Magic Loop, although I think I put my own spin on it! I am thrilled that you pushed past the clumsy, fiddly stage into the smooth flow that follows!
Knit your socks off!
