I did try circular needles, but the fact that I bought the wrong size combined with the feeling that I was knitting the wrong way round (you'll know what I mean, with the points of the needles going towards you instead of away), made me give it up quite quickly. I figured I'd need to use dpns at the end anyway, after some decreasing, so I might as well fuck it up from the beginning so there's be less work wasted, rather than learning the technique three quarters of the way through the hat.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to tell myself I don't need those socks.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm... knitting group is a possible. I'll have a look at my timetable next semester... if I'm around Wed afternoon I may well join you. Although I don't do proper knitting, only small things, because I have the attention span of a hyperactive fruit fly. Except unfortunately without the activity, hyper or otherwise.Robbiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528997485488258141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23755840.post-19485618899129467132007-12-10T10:19:00.000+00:002007-12-10T10:19:00.000+00:00I have so far avoided knitting in the round.

DPNs I think I could cope with but I tried circular needles and that was more like a fight (that I was losing).<BR/><BR/>I always thought that socks seem more trouble to knit than they're worth but then I saw these http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/index.html<BR/>and it seemed a bit more like it.<BR/><BR/>Are you free on Wednesdays at 5:30 - a group of us meet to knit in the West End. Probably meeting again after Christmas hols now but come along if you fancy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
