Can I knit this using magic loop? Can I use short circulars instead? In this video I show different options for knitting in a tube.
The double-pointed needles I use are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo.
The long circular needles I use are Knitter’s Pride Zing from an interchangeable set.
The 9″circulars I use are Knitter’s Pride Platina.
The yarn I’m using is Knit Picks Preciosa.
My nail polish is Gelish, “I Or-kid You Not”.

Things we talk about in this episode:
The Finer Points of Garment Fitting and Blocking
Baa-ble Hat (One correction, the other pattern we discuss in the pod is actually a cowl, not a hat)
Long-Tail Cast-On
German Twisted CO
Robot dogs that open doors
Carbeth cropped sweater
This pattern is called “Loaded” because I wanted to use all of the techniques folks have been asking for in a single sock pattern – two at-a-time, magic loop, toe-up, German short rows, fingering (sock) weight yarn, and sized for women and men.
Pattern + video tutorial – $8 US via PayPal. 
Sizes: Women and men average width, any shoe size
Needles: Size US 2 (2.75mm) 32” circulars and double-pointed needles (DPNs are ultimately optional)
Yarn: 100 grams of fingering weight yarn (also called sock yarn or 4ply yarn)
Additional Materials: Size G or H crochet hook, a few feet of worsted-weight scrap yarn in a contrasting color, tapestry needle for weaving ends
Gauge: 8.5 stitches per inch in stockinette

The yarn I used in the photo above is Turtlepurl sock yarn, in colorway Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. The in-progress socks in the video is Turtlepurl sock yarn in colorway Tangled Love.
This is a more advanced pattern than many of my sock tutorials. If you’ve never knit socks before, I recommend this pattern/tutorial first, German Short Row Socks.
The double-pointed needles I use are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo. The circulars needles I use are Knitter’s Pride Zing and Addi Turbo.
My nail polish is Gelish, “I Or-kid You Not”.
