I recently took a jump to the daring side of life....
and bought a pair of circular knitting needles.
And wow!
They are 100 times easier than straight needles!
The knitting doesn't all bunch up - so I don't get frustrated with it!
Have you ever tried circular knitting needles or you sticking to tradition..
and staying straight?!?
and staying straight?!?
Circs for me all the way. I actually prefer the short tips as well, the ones you're supposed to do hats and things on.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could substitute circular needles for straight ones?
ReplyDeleteIt really depends what I am knitting. I still dpns for socks than circs, and baby items I do on straights. I usually use circs for top down garments and adult size ones too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a knitter but my mother was and she was totally taken with circular needles and never sewing up a seam. Cherrie
ReplyDeleteI switched to circulars a few months ago and find them delightful. I've sinced moved overseas and I find them much easier to transport--not just big journeys but trapsing around town when you want to just pull it out and have a bit of a knit while you wait. Yes, circulars are good good good.
