OK, it has been slow, but I'm finally on a roll with these today. The first 10+ rows were really difficult for me because of my sore hands. I felt as though I was in a wrestling match with pushing and pulling the needle and stitches around on the magic loop. I didn't have too much trouble figuring out the toe up two at a time process. I just had to keep stopping to allow my hands to stop hurting. Now, though, I have gotten the toes finished and am about to start the instep. The weight of the socks have made the needle wrangling much easier. This yarn is a light worsted weight and I chose an Addi Turbo US size 4 with 40" cable. I had read that this was a good choice for magic loop. Next time I will try my KnitPicks 32" cable to see if it might be easier on my old hands.
