May I introduce you to...two at a time? And even toe-up with JMCO, which I find easier to cast on?
Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely need to try out some different techniques soon.
When learning to knit socks, I consciously started with double pointed needles and top-down, because I wanted to get the "classic" and "traditional" experience first. But I can already feel the downsides to doing it this way. For starters, I never get the right tension where the work switches DPNs, resulting in columns of oversized stitches.
And the toe was horrible in the beginning! Now that I'm doing the kitchener stitch it's gotten better, but I never to seem to get it quite right. It always looks a little off.. That toe cast-on in your second link looks so sexy in comparison :-)
