I'd never thought of that before.

I Learned Something Today
Today I learned a hidden reason I like to knit socks with five needles, not four. When only three needles are in the work, it's harder to lay them flat and tuck them away without fear of breakage.
I'd never thought of that before.

This is true!
I learned on three, but switched to four when I read in Knitting in Plain English that using three can cause those ladders at the needle intersections. Using four eases the stress at the intersections. I've never had a problem with ladders since using four.
PRETTY!
Yeah, that's one of my reasons too. Also because I don't have to concern myself with gauge too much.
