I used circs most of the time and not sure if it's still considered magic loop I use a 40" for all projects _________________ Janet aka Ama

I love my 12" circs. I am much faster with them than with DPNs or magic looping. I think it is interesting to see the many different ways to arrive at the same destination. _________________ Heather - Mama to Matthew (6) and Eli (2)

I don't like having to move yarn down the needle to the tip when I knit so I always use the shortest needle I can get away with. I guess I've been lucky that the 12" don't bother me physically. _________________ Di Linh - mom to Gavin (8), Evelyn (6), Everett (b 12/01/09), Charm (14), Bunnicula (2), Rosa (2)

I LOVE my 12" circs and I just found the 9" ones at my LYS and I picked up some of those to do the legs of newborn and small woolies because I just can't seem to get the hang of dpns  _________________ Beth

Circs are just so VERSITILE!! And I do alot of knitting on the subway, circs are great because they aren't too long and I won't bump into my neighbor! _________________ Pearl by the Sea

I voted circs - I love my Addi 12" circs.
But for socks I used dpns.
I don't really care for ML'ing. It's ok but not my fav. _________________ ~ Christi ~
