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

Tue May 21 17:18:14 UTC 2013

I did finally get the needles, but was under a lot of stress with my work, moving.  I just had to much on my plate to learn something new, at the time.  I have a lot to do to get ready for convention.  Labeling is a chore!

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.
