RE: Knitting tip: You don't need a circular needle of the exact length 🧶

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago

I have used magic loop like this, but I prefer longer double-pointed needles and sometimes use 2 sets in a pinch (which is what knitters did before there were circular needles with cables. For some strange reason, I find all those points less annoying than the loop of cable. I'm glad every knitter can find methods that work for them. !BBH

You are member of the double-pointed needle party 😁I was used to be so but once I broke my favorite needles with my feet by trying half done socks ... The experience was so traumatic (it was beautiful wooden multicolor needles) and I changed to circular needle party. But that's right as you wrote, "every knitter can find methods that work for them." 👍

SOrry for jumping in... but I want to traumatise you further (joking, but its really a bit nauseating) I once lost a metal tapestry needle on our carpet and while searching for it barefoot (yeah, clever me) I stepped int it so forcefully I managed to insert this completely blunt needle into my sole... 🤢🤮😱 thankfully not very deep, so it was only a bit painful but healed fast.
