  1. I'm a FLK LOVER! Heck, I'd marry it. You still get that ZING! of joy and happiness as the heel magically makes this heel fit of glory. I'm into them and no, no one told me to say that. I would not knit socks without them. I knit two at a time toe up and am in love. I'm making one right now. I'm working the heel as I listen to you. I am in heaven!!!!!! You and FLK heels. Knitting happy time. :)

  2. Hey! I love the Chia Goo red cable needles too, they're my fave! I love the join, sharp tips, the cable and everything you mentioned too. However, I like to do socks toe up, two at a time. I use two different needles, so usually one chia goo, one knit picks, so that I don't accidentally pickup the wrong needle. I learned this tip from a Craftsy class I took.

    I'm enjoying following you now on IG and listening to your blog :)

    1. Oh and as far as length, I usually use short 16" needles since I'm not looping around in magic loop :)
