[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Switching to longer circs when knitting in the round

[Bernice Bird]

I'm about to do this. I just knit from the point of the smaller needle to a point of the larger needle. It's not complicated. It would be like knitting with two needles for that transfer row. Then you would have your circle on the bigger needles.

Hi all,

I have completed six inches on my raglan sweater. I have run out of room on my needles and would like to know how to switch to longer needles. Is it best to create a lifeline out of yarn and then take the stitches off and then add them to the new needle. If so, how would I do this with the stitches in the circle. Wouldn’t the stitches drop? Or perhaps I should simply try to transfer the stitches fro one needle directly onto the new needle. I have knit 164 stitches on my last row, so with that many stitches it would be difficult to knit back. I am afraid the stitches will slip down much to far for me to pick them up. I am planning to take Dixie’s drop stitch dishcloth class in January, but don’t want to wait till then to transfer needles.

Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated. 
Thanks, and if I don’t personally post again before Christmas, a merry peaceful Christmas to all of you. Happy Honicha as  well for those celebrated that holiday.


May God bless you.
 Cathy F
