[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting question with circular needles

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Terry,
 
Did you purchase 2 of the size 8 -16 inch  needles?  As that is  what I 
taught in the mitten class.  For the loom mittens I don't use the  small loom 
for the thumb.  I use the 2 circular needles and pick up the  stitches and 
knit them,  No sewing on the thumb.  No  decreaseing.  It gives a much better 
look and ease of doing the  thumb.
 
I thought you had gotten the knitting needles for the class and wondered  
why you didn't come to the mitten class,.

They are  the 8/14 or maybe 16 needles for the mitten class.  I want to 
make a  smaller circular item than the length of the needles.  Doing it on the  
thumb loom, thin yarn, catches on the base of the loom, when you have to 
pull  it down.

Terry,

Please clearify this a little better.  You  say that you have 8/14  needles 
and you want to know if you can making  anything larger then 14  inches.  
What type of needles are  these? Straight, circular?  As I  never came 
across 14 inche  circular ,  maybe are they 16 inch Circular or  14 inche 
straight  needles?

Then you mentioned it is catching on the loom.  So I am  not sure what  you 
have.  Please let us know so we might give you an  answer.

I  have a set of 8/14  needles.  Can I make anything smaller than 14 inches 
around, with these  needles.  When using the thumb loom, my cast on 
stitches are catching on  the base of the loom and getting messed up.  Any  help 
out  there.
