Lurker here,
I'm looking to get a set of DPN's as I want to start knitting socks and mittens and so such. I've done magic loop before but I actually don't mind DPN's.
If you use DPN's what size (4", 5", 6", 8") and material (wood, metal, plastic) do you use most.
TIA

Re: DPN's
Do you use other needles now? Material type is largely a personal choice, so trying a few different types out for yourself might be a big help.
I prefer magic loop. I have less problem with "ladders" (the stretched out stitch when you go from one needle to the next).
It's totally personal preference. What size yarn are you going to use for the items you're planning to knit on your DPNs? Buy the size that goes with the yarn.
