[Nfb-krafters-korner] knit picks circular needles

[Deidre Muccio]

	It was the interchangeable circular needles that felt different in
length. It's odd to feel those stitches hanging loosely off the end of the
needle and on the thin cable. I used a thinner yarn and 20 stitches per row
so there were stitches hanging below the shaft of the needle. I hope they
keep their shape hanging loose like that.
	And yes, using the key really locks those tips on. I must have knit
for 2 hours last night and there was no hint those tips would start to
loosen.  
	I think I'll play with some straight needles again tonight and see
the difference in feel once more.
	I'm not sure yet what I like or what I do best with  - plastic,
bamboo or a rougher wood, or metal.
