Hallo ,, i never think you ignore anybody !!!hahahha
I have the 14 mm , and even as i have a bit big fingers , i find them
not so easy to work i use them for rag knitting ,,, but i think their
problem is their length , [ made of wood!!!] not their size ,, i am
looking now for a circular `fat` needle ,, this might work easier .
many years ago i wove my Father and his wife a His [ sweater] and
her`s [ vest ] matching things ,, they still have it and like it ,, in
Autum colors !!!

Those sound lovely Mirjam, one day when I've more time space and money I'd
love to try weaving, the textures you can obtain are so exciting.
As for the needles I used a circular 12mm needle making a capelet and really
struggled, but I do have quite small hands, so broomstick crochet is about
as near as I get with them I'm afraid
Love Christine

Thanks,

Just recently started knitting and am doing my second pair of 4 needle
mittens. Very basic.

Hi Sue,

Not basic to me as I never mastered the art of using four needles or circulars.


Hugs,

Nora

I find it rather simple using the 4 needles. I've never done anything using
circular although I bet that would be fun. I want to work a scarf next, but
with my limited knowledge I'm hoping I can come up with something other then
the basic back and forth or k3 P1. :-)

Hi Sue,

I bet someone can give you other pattern stitches or even check out the Lion
Brand website for patterns.

Hugs,

Nora
