Well, mostly. If you don't want to spoil the poll from before, and make your vote unbiased,
you shouldn't have clicked the cut, you fool!

"Double-pointed needles" were overwhelmingly the "impressive" option, and seemed as or more straightforward than any other method of knitting in the round. Since the project in question involves making fingerless gloves for a Dirty Goffick Type, and
laurensa specifically pointed out that DPNs are "of the devil", what more recommendation could I need?
So, there you go. That's the cuff of the gloves forming. Size 3US/3.25mm needles, 16 stitches on each of the three needles, hopefully about 6.5"/16cm for the 48 stitches total. Vertical progress is probably about an inch and a half / four centimeters, give or take. The system for now is just ribbing, *K2, P2* repeat. Pattern/shaping begins after I've finished about twice this much stitching.
