I'm not square...

Last week I was so excited to finally start knitting with my square needles. When I first heard about square knitting needles I thought it was kind of crazy. I thought it would be awkward and wondered if the stitches would be different. Well I tried them and I liked them, except for the cable. I started knitting a pair of socks for Hailey using the magic loop method. With magic loop I'm used to pushing the cable through the yarn when you are switching sides and the cable on these needles was so limp that it was impossible to push it through. It just wasn't working well for me and I was getting frustrated so I ended up switching back to my Addi's. I think these needles would be perfect for doing other projects like a scarf or a sweater. But, maybe with a little more patience and practice they will once again be used for socks. We'll see... I'm not tossing them out yet!
