Good job Valerie! Where did you find the long DPNs? I had considered learning to knit with a belt at some point in time, but I couldn't find long DPNs. Unsupported flicking is just too demanding for my carpal tunnel. Over time, I taught myself to knit continental instead, and it works really well for me for now, but it is not ideal for stranded knitting. I would love to try knitting with a belt, so I could hold my strand in each hand.

Addi and prym make some. Check Etsy and search for 40 cm instead of inches. Thanks. Hope it works for you.

Since you know English and continental styles, have you tried two-handed stranded knitting? That's what I do and it works for me. Each hand carries one of the colors. I'm a continental knitting mostly, but I also learned the English flicking style. I tried carrying 2 colors on the left hand (continental), but I like the two-handed method a lot better. Good luck!

@@cyndylee544 Yes, I did try. However, my tension is loose in continental, and tight in English style. This creates a completely different problem. I don't let this deter me from stranded knitting, I just put with the awkwardness of having two yarns on the left. Someday, I will get those long DPNs and I will master English style 🙂
