Thank you for your kind words. I am totally sure I won't be lost to socks😂 I've way to many beautuful sweaters on my ravelry queue. I've got small hands so I don't mind the small circular needles so much and they definitely better than dpns. With these socks I find that two longer circular needles work good for me and I will try that for my next sleeves aswell. It is totally possible to work the sleeves flat on a top down sweater. I'd cast on 2 more stitches under the arm than the pattern asks for and than work flat. For me it's just that I'm not a fan if seaming either😉
