Yesterday I got the new Addi Rocket 2 and a new, very adjustable lamp that I had ordered. I have started working on my second pair of socks using the 2 circular needle method. I originally used a 16" cable Addi basic with the second circular using Addi Rocket with a 24" cable so I could differentiate between the two (critical to success). I learned very quickly that the Addi Rocket, which has something of a snub tip, was going to be clumsy. I was going to suffer through it until the end, but when I made a major boo-boo 7 inches worth of work later and decided to start over, I made the executive decision to switch to the Addi Rocket2 which has the lovely, sharp tip AND is visually different from the Addi Rocket, thereby providing the identifier necessary to this method. The piece de resistance was the brand new lamp. Now I can see really well and am loving my knitting so much that starting the second pair from scratch was a pleasure instead of a chore. I write this to encourage everyone to notice what may make a critical difference to them in their knitting/creative journey. Anything that brings us joy during these challenging times is worth its weight in gold.
Very nice! The lamp looks nice and light! I have an old light, but it’s go a bulb that makes knitting dark things easer.
I also need a lamp but have a daylight bulb in a mother and child lamp. I love the wooden bowl. Is that for your wool to go in? Currently mine sits in chair next to me. Gets right on my nerves
Nanny189,
Yes, the bowl holds the wool so it doesn’t end up on the floor gathering cat hair as it rolls, which is a pet peeve of mine (pun intended)
I bought a floor knitting lamp from Hammacher Schlemmer. Where I go to knit, it comes with me.
I keep my ball of wool in a cheap drawstring bag as I knit. It rolls around as much as it likes inside the bag and stays nice and clean.
I haven’t knit any socks yet but did finish off a hat using two circular needles. I wasn’t aware that it’s important to differentiate between the two needles. Can you help me understand why this is important? All info is appreciated as in the current Covid environment I’m doing a lot of “winging it” 
I find that it helps to have two different needles so that I don’t mix up which right needle to work with which left needle. I’ve sometimes found myself starting to knit everything onto one of the circulars instead of switching off.
Salmonmac answered best; The only thing I can add is that when you are knitting socks, it is way too easy to get off track from the designer’s directions, what with the heel flap and turning the heel and then doing the decreases. The more “landmarks” you have to help you avoid getting “lost” along the way, the better. The other thing I am learning (having little or nothing to do with knitting with 2 circulars) is that it is really helpful to learn how to “read your knitting”. When I first heard that, I thought I would never be able to do it. Wrong, and it is so cool when you can see what you’ve done and if it’s wrong, figure out how to fix it. What a sense of accomplishment! Probably way more information than you were looking for, but there you are>
I’ve made many socks. My mother said her feet were cold at night so … I knit her a pair of socks and put them under her pillow.
Knitting socks with two circs is the way to go – makes life easy for me. Yes, I use sets of 4 (prefer 5) dps sometimes.
