Yay, despite the weirdness of life knitting happens.
Knitters’Pride Royale Circular Needles, Caron Jumbo, (can’t find the label for colorway). I shared the videos I followed a couple days ago. Learning the Fleegle heel and a stretchy bind-off I really found easy.
On the other hand… I found Knitters’Pride Royale Circular Needles a pain to work with. This happened a lot:
The cables curled up and got in the way a lot. In my personal contest, ChiaoGoo red-lace circulars wins.
Here’s a nearly finished pair of cotton socks on ChiaoGoo red-lace circulars. The cables stay out of the way.
Meanwhile, here’s the ‘atmospheric river.’ Pretty, but I feel it is too little and too much too late.
By the way, is there anyone in the country that likes Daylight Savings Time?
The cords on the Knitter’s Pride are more kinky than those on the ChiaGoos. Either way there is a bit of a learning curve, I agree, to understand the two-at-a-time-toe-up patterns. I think I’m beginning to get it.

It’s a bit confusing to keep the circular needle straight!

The first time one does follow a pattern is always difficult. Then we get it.
There’s that darned learning curve. But it is splendid when we get it! 🤗
Oh yes, absolutely right.
