[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Flexi-tip needles

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Vicky.
It's very simple, really.  Divide your stitches evenly between 2 needles.  Take the third needle, and knit the stitches off one of the needles.  Then take the newly empty needle and knit the stitches off the next needle.  And so on.
I always tug the first stitch on the new needle up close to the last stitch on the previous needle, so as not to leave a hole or get the dreaded ladder.
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
Could you describe how to use these needbbes? I have some but have never figured out what to do. I do not know how to use DPN's.
Thank Y.
