    You can knit on multiple needles for a tube sock though? I mean. The lady in the comic sure isn’t doing that, but I always knit socks myself with five needles. Four holding, one knitting. Well, two knitting at any one time. Knitting in the round is what my mother called it.

      Exactly. She’s using straight needles (with a knob on one end) instead of double-pointed needles. DPNs are also straight I guess! But “straight needles” specifically means the ones with one point and a knob.

        They’re both straights! But that is probably in my brain only.

        Either way -

        Lady in the comic is doing eldritch magic with them there needles.
