I use the two socks on two circs method. I can't handle double pointed needles, If I did one at a time I would never do the second one. And I don't have to count for the second sock, I can just do the same thing on each row, and end up with socks the same size.
I used a worsted weight wool, and size 6 needles, so they are pretty thick and cozy.
And here they are all finished!! I get a kick out of seeing them grow.
