Yes, you have to use the double pointed needles to knit in the round as there are only 30 or 40 stitches and so it's too small for the connected needles. But it's actually easier than I thought. I've been using Ann Budd's Getting Started Knitting Socks, which has a lot of photos with its step-by-step instructions. If I can do it decently, anyone can do it!dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-9024508832892993932010-02-10T12:24:39.855-05:002010-02-10T12:24:39.855-05:00I am sooo jealous.

I've done baby blankets, shawls, beanies, tons of washcloths and socks is my new adventure but i've been afraid cause it looks a little intimidating. My niece is having a baby this July so I guess i'm gonna have to take the bull by the horns and just try. Did you use double pointed needles. So far all the instructions i've seen say these needles are necessary and I guess that's what is spooking me a little. i already have enough trouble with just 2 regular needles..... :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071686440541710071noreply@blogger.com
