INFANTRY TRAINING: Knit in the Round on 2 Circular Needles
Description:
Leg Warmers, Gloves, Mittens, Socks, Sleeves: Knit in the Round on 2 Circular Needles - - in one lesson.
fThe greatest benefits of this technique are:
- Far more comfortable, the circulars needle fits comfortably into the palms of your hands and you‘re not constantly fiddling with double pointed needles that slip and slide through your stitches
- Circulars needles are less unwieldy to use than DPNS - stitches rest safely on the cable of the circular needle.
- Don’t have to worry about losing a needle – I find the DPNS have a tendency to slide out.
- With two circulars you can knit a project of pretty much any size you don't have to worry about stitches dropping off the end of the DPN.
- Two circulars make a project extremely portable and very easy to carry.
- Circulars allow you to move the bulk of the knitting closer to lap – easier to balance which depending upon the yarn weight can make it a much more comfortable project.
Class Project: Leg Warmers Leg Warmers - choose 3 styles, 3 sizes and 3 weights of yarn
