I saw teeny tiny circular needles just the other day. Can those be used for socks?<br /><br />@falwyn<br />I too prefer to only use wood. Well bamboo so far, I will be buying hard wood needles soon. As for metal, I just can't handle it.stefanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939472985498300603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035125.post-21822264093670213402012-01-03T13:52:06.716-07:002012-01-03T13:52:06.716-07:00I LOVE knitting in the round with little sock need...I LOVE knitting in the round with little sock needles... but only if they're wood or bamboo! Otherwise the slick metal just slides right out and it basically makes me crazy... I've never done a whole pair of socks (i.e. the heel) yet, though.falwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110331375206243525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035125.post-3719238046055069502011-12-31T07:50:43.981-07:002011-12-31T07:50:43.981-07:00Just reading all of that was hard work for me...

The circumference of the sock is too small. <br /><br />Now having said that, you actually CAN use a circular needle to knit a sock but it is a bit more complicated/involved. You can use two circular needles (so it is pretty much like using 4 double-pointed needles) or you can use one really long circular needle using the Magic Loop method. Patterns are written differently for these methods as well.<br /><br />I figured for my first pair of socks I would just go with the needles that didn't involve me having to learn anything too strenuous.

My mother started with me (but she was previously a knitter) and she still has not completed a sock. I recommend top down for your first sock. It's slightly addicting and I carry one sock project with me wherever I go.Rachelhttp://happayscrappay.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
