They say the "magic loop" method lets you knit "two socks at once" but I've been around the block a few times and I know a scam when I see one

@prehensile if you add colorwork you also get
surprise knots that can only later be undone by spreading your yarn across the floor and juggling the balls through the threads for hours whiles threatening any family member who dares come close enough to disturb the mess. But, I am particularly vulnerable to Second Sock Syndrome (and Second Sleeve Syndrome) so it's something I just have to deal with. (Have you ever tried on a sweater with sleeves conjoined by a cable? Fun!)

@holly @prehensile actually my absolute favorite way is to do two-at-a-time sleeves on 2 circs - circ 1 has half of sleeve A and half of sleeve B, circ 2 has half of sleeve B and half of sleeve A. it works up similar to magic loop but with less pulling loops out, but you can also move each sleeve fully to its own needle for a try-on

@nasamuffin @prehensile omg that’s genius! I have to go find another sweater to knit now 😃
