A heeling treatment using a needles?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use circular needles in place of double pointed needles. It will be more awkward because the number of stitches is usually very small, and you will have to push the stitches around the ring every time you do a row. It could weaken the yarn if you push it too many times. I would suggest you simply buy the double pointed needles, since they are very inexpensive. ---- There are techniques that would allow you to use circular needles in place of double pointed needles without stretching stitches or awkwardness. The two most popular of these techniques are the magic loop technique or the use of two circular needles. See the link below for a demonstration of the magic loop technique.

Frankly, I prefer it. With the magic loop technique, needles aren't falling out right and left and getting lodged in couch cushions. An additional advantage to the magic loop technique is the ability to knit two of anything at the same time, such as two socks or two sleeves. By knitting them at the same time you get two identical items and don't have to worry about remembering how you did the first one when trying to make the second copy. On last advantage to the magic loop technique: You only need one length of circular needles to complete any project from a miniature sock to a large sweater because the magic loop technique allows that much variation. It's far more variation than you can get with dpns. So with a sweater, instead of getting one length for the body, one for the neck, AND dpns to finish the sleeves, you buy one single circular.
