Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed knitting needles. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
This is my version of instructions for the two basic knitting stitches but I have found that it is hard to use a few written instructions. To keep warm in winter choose a chunky knitting yarn, some two ply yarns contain fifteen percent wool. After all, the first most basic meditation you learn is breath counting; in breath, one, out breath, two.
Some people prefer circular needles because they are more comfortable to use and you can knit both in the round or back and forth like straight needles. When you complete a lovely, warm sweater made with your own hands, you can proudly wear it and explain that you knitted it yourself. Tools for measuring needle diameter and yarn properties have been discussed above, as well as the yarn swift, ballwinder and "yarntainers".
You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality. Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects.
