there is a video that shows you magic loop knitting on that page. you need to have a really long circular needle with a flexible cable. i haven't tried it yet, but i ordered new needles that i can do magic loop with so i will be trying it soon!

omg, yelley, I love you. I hate using dpns whenever I get the itching for a hat, and I have this fantastic kit of circulars, but no small ones. I usually just crochet them (which I hate, because they're not stretchy enough) I have the perfect chunky yarn for a hat, too. I'm excited, now.

Lines:
Ok, that's just awesome. And I can pick a circular with a longer cable at work tomorrow, as I work in a craft store! Yay! I can finally start this hat I've had yarn sitting around for finally! (This stuff in sky blue. I have a tweed winter coat, and there's some flecks of color that the blue matches.)

Caiphana:
...I made half of a hat today with that spiffy needle thing. Then I realized I needed more yarn. I walked around wearing the half-hat on my head, attached to my needles.

And Linds, I love that yarn. I actually made my mum a scarf with the very same color. It knits up super quick and warm, and I love the way it drapes (not that it matters much for a hat, but still).

Lines:
Yeah, I made a friend a scarf out of it a few years back and I liked both how it felt and how it draped, which like you said, is pretty nice. I can't make sweaters out of it, as it's too bulky for my body type, but I found a hat pattern I liked, so I decided to get some again! Plus, thicker hats are good things when it's cold out up here.
