Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't think there's any way to knit a tubular sock on straight needles; the geometry doesn't allow it. You can knit a sock flat and then sew it up into a tube, but it would look different from the comic.
Edit: actually now that I've thought about it more, I think there is a way but it would be super annoying (slip every other stitch so you're knitting the back and front of the tube at the same time, that might work...). Basically the equivalent of writing a letter by writing every other word and then going back to fill in the rest. Possible, but no reason to do it.
You can knit on multiple needles for a tube sock though? I mean. The lady in the comic sure isn't doing that, but I always knit socks myself with five needles. Four holding, one knitting. Well, two knitting at any one time. Knitting in the round is what my mother called it.
Exactly. She's using straight needles (with a knob on one end) instead of double-pointed needles. DPNs are also straight I guess! But "straight needles" specifically means the ones with one point and a knob.
