[Nfb-krafters-korner] circular needle question

[Eileen Scrivani]

I'm not a fine lace knitter and have only used the triple zeros as more of a 
tool in knitting for other things.  Years ago I tried doing knitting a 
cotton type of crochet thread which I don't recall the name of, but found it 
too difficult since I could not feel the individual stitches so easily 
because they weigh next to nothing.  The only thing I have been tempted to 
go back and retry with that type of yarn and really fine needles is little 
beaded amulet types of bags.  My thought was that by placing beads on the 
yarn, it might make the yarn a little weightier  and easier to work with.  I 
have not tried it, but its in my head that I should revisit the small 
needles and fine yarn with beads.

One of these days, I'll pull the needed supplies out and try it again!

Eileen
