Agnes Cleary replied to the discussion 'knitting on double pointed needles (DPNs)' in the group Knitters!
Thanks so much. I'm going to take a loot at that video. I have tried using the circular needles instead of the DPNs, but found that for very small circumferences, like baby hats or children's sleeves, it just didn't seem to work.…

I use the DPN for sleeves when knitting from the neck down on sweaters and I've found the best solution for doing this is just practice. It is a bit awkward knitting on the four needles but with a bit of practice you will wonder what all the…

The hardest part is making sure you don't twist the stitches when you join the first row to make the circle.If there are a lot of stitches it sometimes helps to cast onto one long straight needle and then slip onto three.Always put a row marker…

This is not the answer to your question, but it might be the answer to your problem. Using two circular needles enables you to do absolutely anything that can be done on DPNs, without the hassle of DPNs. This web site http://www.knittinghelp.com/

I don''t know that this will help much, but for years it really frustrated me to try to knit with DP needles. I had learned the two needle and circular without problem but the beginning cast on, etc drove me batty. Finally I did the cast…

knitting on double pointed needles (DPNs)

OK. I'm not an expert, but I have mastered knit, purl, cast off, cast on, and a few other things. But this DPN thing has me stumped. I've checked most of the online videos, but just can't get the hang of it. I always end up with some weird, twisted, woolly caterpillar kind of creature...The last attempt ended with one of my fingers getting "knitted up" into the mess. Anyone out there mastered this? There are some hat patterns I'd really like to try, but need to master this technique.

Susan, thanks for setting this up and offering to run it! I'm looking forward to it. But I'd like to make a suggestion regarding fabrics offered by pet owners. Since many people are allergic to pet hair and dander, and even the most fastidious clean freak cannot completely eliminate it, even by laundering, I propose that any pet owner offering to swap fabric should let the recipient know. That way, participants can make an informed decision about whether they want to do the swap. Some allergy…See More
