For those who don't like double-pointed needles, the Addi Turbo 8" circular needles are an alternative. They work for socks, cuffs, and baby sweater collars. The needle tips are only 1.75" long, so grasping them can take some practice, but they are rust-proof, with a finish that is very slick for fast knitting. The tips are connected by the Turbo pliable blue cable with a smooth join so that the yarn slides easily.
