Sock knitting ponderances

ysobelI am trying to figure out whether I want to do Althea on the loom or on normal needles.
For the most part, up to the cuff, the stitches are purl and ktbl. Which are fairly easy on looms. OTOH, I haven't found or figured out the equivalent of magic cast on, so I'd have to do the short row toe thing, which I dislike. Plus I wouldn't be able to try them on as I go. But the loom is portabler than long dpns, and it's a pattern that /could/ work on the loom, and ... argh. IDK. *flail*
(And yes, I know I shouldn't be casting on until I finish the Argante, but. Flailing is fun!)
