I can knit in the round!
I’ve learned how to knit in the round, which means in a circle, all in one go, so you can make socks and the like. I’m great, me. (Thanks to mum for showing me how and d for calming me down when i lost my temper with it). Now i’m going to to unravel this and start on a bag instead.
Your photoblogging leaves a teensy bit to be desired, thoughbut.

Why not just buy one of the looped together knitting needle things, rather than fiddle with three?

why not get a pair of circular knitting needles?

I have them too, that’s what I’m using for the bag. using the double ended ones is better for smaller diameter projects, as otherwise the yarn gets all stretched out and it’s harder to knit.

Weird… I thought that first comment got lost.

Golly. Why don’t you just go out and buy socks, for God’s sake. All this effort when there is perfectly good telly to be watched…

Buying socks just isn’t as much fun as making them. It is fun, I’ll grant you that, but not as much fun. Besides, I don’t actually want to make socks, I want to make leg warmers (I have a really strange craving for some to wear around the house) and some wrist warmer things too.

handmade socks are like good lingerie!
and I knit in the round whenever I get a chance, its so much easier and quicker. I made a set of wristwarmers as my first project knitting in the round, which were promptly taken by a friend, never to be seen by me again…
