Maureen, I've actually never tried working on two circulars! I know you can knit most sock patterns in any method--have you tried converting any of those DPN patterns to two circulars?

On the other hand, knowing how to do different techniques for knitting is always good, too! I should give the two circular method a try. :D

I want to learn to use double-point needles. I use two circulars for socks (Thank you Cat Bordhi), but so many patterns I like use double-points.

ALA, I love doing colorwork! None of the projects in this issue really use intarsia, but they are all fabulous. :D

More colorwork. I've done both intarsia and stranded, and I'm actually a bit more comfortable with intarsia. I'm not promising myself that I'll steek anything this year, though. That's on the "bonus" list. So ... now I just have to decide which of the new Knitscene non-steeked colorwork patterns to choose first!

Toni, I LOVE knitting two-handed stranded colorwork. It doesn't work for everyone, but it can make knitting with colors go much more quickly, in my opinion. :D

I want to try colorwork. I love the look but have never tried it. I also want to learn how to knit with yarn in both hands while doing colorwork. :)
