Good Morning,
I'm not sure if I'm jumpin into the middle of something, but here in Canada most knitting patterns are for two needles just as you say they are in England. I have seen posts on the newsgroup about how to convert them, but have not done it myself. However I am finding I use circular needles more and more, but just knit back and forth as I do when I use regular straight knitting needles. I like the fact I don't have to worry about dropping a needle and it's much easier to pack in my purse. take care, Linda On Mon, 17 Nov 2003 11:03:43 +0000, Jill Treasure wrote: It was supposed to be a joke, hence the smiley. I once considered circular knitting, but couldn't source a long enough needle for the project I was hoping to knit. Here in England, most patterns are for two needle projects.

It was from a pattern book called, IIRC, Weird Knitting. -- Best! Jill That is what it's called. I just saw something about that book recently, it was in the last week. I can't remember if it was at the LYS or written up in a magazine, it was sometime when I was in sort of a hurry, but they had some excerpts from it, and I remember thinking it looked really interesting! Now I probably won't be able to find it again. Karen in MN |
