This morning I went into town to meet up with my swim friends We drank and chatted, then did a bit of shopping before I came home
Washing is dry and folded. More has been hung out to dry
In between checking on dinner I continue to knit
I’ve put the sleeve stitches on smaller circular needles
As you can see they are interchangeable. They have little holes that you put a little key into to help tighten the removable ends
I put a thin stitch marker through that little hole and it holds it all in place. Much better than the stitch holders you can buy
My little kit it’s got a few different size needles and different lengths of the wire that you place the needles onto

When the body is finished I just choose a sleeve add the correct size needles and start knitting
So easy
I wonder why it hadn’t occurred to me sooner.
So many dropped stitches could of been avoided
Oh well. Better late than never I guess
I don't like knitting on circular needles but everyone else seems to use them. It's the number of stitches in each row that puts me off and the length of the needles. Hoiwever there are severol 'pros', including no seams. I have a couple of pairs and just might try them again.
ReplyDeleteI really do like the colour of your jersey.
I've never taken to circulars, too much like a treadmill for me. I use either long straights, with one under my arm, or dpns. I haven't knitted a sweater for a long time, but I used to like having seams for construction rather than the seamless circulars. I'm definitely in a minority now though.
