Can you bring knitting needles on Icelandair?
I think you are allowed knitting needles in your luggage that goes into the plane hold (main luggage), but you are not allowed them in your hand luggage because they can be classed as dangerous. If you want to knit on the plane, I have used pens before. If you use some thin pens or pencils, that should work.
What are KNITTING point protectors?
They are rubbery things that fit over the points of the knitting needles while storing the work in progress.
Can you use round needles in place of double pointed needles of the same size?
Note: round needles are almost always called circular knitting needles. In some cases, circular needles will work just as well as double pointed needles. But more often than not, only double pointed needles will work. Why? With double pointed needles, one can knit with as few stitches as they want. This makes them ideal for knitting the tops of hats, which are decreased to a very few number of stitches, and other items where few stitches are knitted. However, if one is knitting with a large number of stitches, then circular needles will work fine, maybe even better, but circular needles have a "minimum stitch limit." Thus, they only work if the pattern works with lots of stitches. So in order to figure out whether circular knitting needles will work for your pattern, read through the instructions, and determine the point at which there will be the least number of stitches on the double pointed needles. Try to estimate the lowest number of stitches that will work comfortably on the circular needles, and decide if the stitches in the pattern will fit on the circular needles.
What is the best size knitting needles for beginners to use?
For beginners, it is recommended to start with medium-sized knitting needles, typically around US size 8 (5mm) to US size 10 (6mm). These sizes are easier to handle and work with for beginners learning basic knitting techniques.
Do you cast on both of your needles in knitting?
Generally you cast on using one needle, but you can position both needles parallel to each other and cast on as you would with one needle. This gives you a broader, looser base for your work.
What does yfwd mean in knitting?
In knitting, the term "yfwd" is an abbreviation for "yarn forward." In order to do a yarn forward, simply pull the yarn strand with which you are knitting between the needles to the front of the work, so that it is in the position normally used when preparing to perform a purl stitch. That's all there is to it!
How many stitches can be on 14 inch knitting needles comfortably?
Your answer depends on the yarn you want to use. You cancomfortablywork more stitches with thread weight yarn than you could work bulky yarn.
When near the end of row how do you end off and start the next row?
When you reach the end of a row in knitting, you typically finish the last stitch of that row and then turn your work around. To start the next row, you simply begin by knitting or purling the first stitch according to your pattern. Remember to maintain tension and follow the stitch pattern as you continue. If you're using circular needles, you simply keep working in the same direction without turning the work.
How much does a tattoo needle cost?
Knitting needles can cost any where from $5-$20 depending on the brand, type, and size of needle and quality. For a beginner I would suggest getting the alluminum (also called turbo needles) needles, the yarn will slide more easily over the needles and make quicker progress of your work. If you travel and want to knit then you can get bamboo or plastic needles, they should allow them on a plane.
What do people use double pointed needles for?
Double pointed needles (DPNs) are primarily used in knitting to create small, circular pieces, such as socks, sleeves, or hats. They allow knitters to work in the round without needing a circular needle, making them ideal for projects with a narrow circumference. DPNs are typically used in sets of four or five, enabling the knitter to divide their stitches across the needles for easier handling.
Does the sewing machine also work for knitting?
No.
Why does my stockinette stitch look like a basic stitch?
Are you knitting? If by basic stitch, you mean garter stitch, it is because you are knitting on both sides of the work. It may also mean your working yarn is in the wrong place when you attempt to pearl a stitch. A stockinette stitch is achieved by knitting on one side of the work and pearling on the other. When knitting, the working yarn should be at the back of the work, away from you. When pearling, the working yarn should be pulled between the needle and the work,( closest to you) and then work the stitch the same as a knit stitch. This should fix your problem, but if not, please ask more questions.
