are just to dangerous for that!
I would suggest learning all 3 methods and finding which one you
like best. I find it useful knowing them all though because at different
times with different projects I have found each one to be useful

Hi
Think you hit the nail on the head there, Libbie.
I like Magic Loop for baby hats but preferred using two circs when I was finishing the rib of a cardigan, with the sleeve knitted top down.
DPNs are great for eliminating any ladders because it's so easy to rotate the stitches but I can knit faster with 'Loop and two circs.
My black lab and three cats definitely prefer Magic Loop (can't imagine why
)
Best Wishes
