I love knitting with DPNs! That's how I learned to make socks. I still enjoy watching the videos for new tips. The music is so energetic and fun as well!

I just discovered your podcast. You and Dan are so lovely. I saw your Pop socks and I knew I had to be able to do them when you release the pattern. Never having done socks before, I feel I dropped on lucky to join you just in time for Sockoween!!
