Knit or Get off the Pot

You can’t see them, but I have an awesome set of circular needles. They’re apparently kinda rare and are prized by real knitters. So I’m a bit smug about having them. Heh heh. They’re Boye Balene needles and are made with casein protein to somehow simulate the whale-bone needles of old. Those needles were prized for their flexibility and warmth. (They’d kinda become warm as you worked with them, I hear.)

Question by Paradise: When to use circular knitting needles? Vertical striped scarf?
I wanted to do vertical stripes on my scarf, so I went to ask my art teacher how to. She said I needed circular knitting kneedles? I don’t know anything about them. I’m new to knitting. Can someone tell me if that’s true?
Also, what are the other uses for circular knitting needles?

The booties I made for a friend’s baby a year ago didn’t quite make it to her. I’m going to be finally meeting her later this week for lunch so I’ve made these adorable monsters for her and her baby instead.

Question by raynne_iceni: Circular knitting patterns to flat knitting?
I cannot figure circular needles out. I’ve tried several times. I’ve seen several ways of converting flat knitting to circular knitting, but nothing for circular to flat. Is there a way to do this? There are so many patterns I’d love to do, but they require circular needles.
Well, the stitches do twist like anything. But mostly, it’s the way I knit. I’m used to bracing the right needle against my ribcage and moving only the left one. I can’t figure out how to do that with circular needles.

Question by JR: where can i buy circular knitting needles?
I live in Hialeah and i would like to know if anyone knows of a place that sells circular knitting needles.

Best answer:

Answer by Pearl
Just about any craft store that sells straight knitting needles would also sell circulars. I’ve seen them at Hobby Lobby and Joanne’s. Check your yellow pages under “yarn” and you may find a local yarn shop that would carry a large selection. If you wind up needing to order online, the least expensive place to get good quality needles is knitpicks.com

The two working needles sit between you and the work, which hangs off the back on the remaining needles.
