I just casted on seperate needles, then slipped them onto a 3rd needle so the stitches alternated balls of yarn. Saddly my socks and I are no longer speaking, there was an incident and now they are in time out.
@spagetti568 I cast on the number of stitches for one sock on one needle then with a separate ball of yarn I cast on all of the stitches for the second sock. Then slip them onto the DPNs alternating which needle I slip off of.
this is the first clear explanation of this technique I found here on youtube. Thanks for sharing this!

@kmp10150 wait so you casted on two different needles enough stitches for two socks, for like a total number of stitches over 100?

@kmp10150 so say that I had a pattern for sock with 64 stitches for one sock, when I was done casting on would I have a total of 128 stitches?
