I have a 60 inch cable. I don't think you need that much, but it should be fine. Some say it has an advantage in that you WILL finish both socks since you are working on both at the same time. Perhaps they also end up more uniform that way also. I've heard of the single sock syndrome. You do one and get bored or distracted and never do the other sock. I think I'll give it a try, just in case I develop a case of KDHD (knitting distraction and hypo-productivity disorder). Leigh says on her blog she may be doing her socks in dpns just to spite me. Traitor! Me, I like to examine all the options and do things the "most advanced" way, whatever that means. She likes challenges, I like outsmarting the challenges. Maybe she likes the idea of all those pointy dpns because she likes dragons, which have lots of pointy parts, too. By the way, I theorize that elves knit with magic loop, of course.

You'll be the first to know if I fail. Well, maybe the second as my dear hubby will hear me swearing at the needles first. I’m still going to go with dpns for my first try knitting socks.
