I'm using this pattern http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall02/PATTbroadstreet.html, which was not written for Magic Loop or two-at-a-time knitting, but I have tried to figure it out to use both of those methods together. Everything's been going great til I finished the thumb gusset, put the thumb stitches on a holder and now need to close up the palm with the back. The pattern calls for CO 11 stitches, and I can't figure out how to do it with Magic Loop, since I've got 2 gloves on the needles. Any advice? Anyone done 2 at a time gloves with Magic Loop? I can switch to DPNs if necessary, but would rather not have to if possible. Thanks!
