Hmmm.....what do people do with the one sock when they do succumb.

Lots of my piano students like wearing mismatched funky socks. I think it's a "thing to do" now-adays. So, those single socks could be used for that!

No coincidence. Knitting is therapeutic in so many ways.

If you use a long circular needle you can magic loop and don't need dpns. There are free videos at the top and one of them is magic loop, I think.

Two circs is my favorite method...sooo easy and no shifting of needles or stitches!!
