[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Terry,
 
That is why you use 2 circular needles when making something in the round  
that is a small circle.
 
With the mittens that I will be teaching you only have 8  or 10  stitches  
on for making the thumb.  You use 2 circular needles to do  that.
 
Take the class and learn how.

Cathy;
Won't you have to get the size 8/16 to make a small  item?  
How can you move the stitches and work in the round, if the  needles are to 
long?

Terry P.

hmm, I  think that Terry was referring to the length of the needles when 
she said 29.  that is a fairly common length from what I have discovered  
during my  initial research of knitting needles. a length of 16 is not as 
common. what I  happen to have now is a 24 length in my size 8 needles. I have not 
yet decided  whether to get a 16 this time or another 24 to match. I do 
believe I will try  a different texture  just to see if I like it better. I 
have bamboo  needles which I do like.
I'm thinking of trying  acrylic.
Cathy
