What size knitting needles are needed for 5 stitches to one inch using 8 ply?
I would say to first check what the label on the yarn ays for your project. However I know sometimes that isnt possible, so you have to make do. I would start with a size 5 knitting needles. First make a gauge swatch I knit about 20 stitches and about 15 to 20 rows, the measure how many stitches per inch I have. Depending on if your a tight or loose knitter you might have to go up or down a size or two. In general the smaller a needle is the more stitches per inch you can make, the larger a needle is the less stitches.
How do you end a scarf?
You bind off. This is done by knitting two stitches so you have two on the right needle. Then pass the first stitch over the second and off the needle, leaving one on the right needle. Knit another stitch, which puts a second stitch on the right needle. Again pass the first stitch over the second. Continue this all the way down the row.
How do you knit an I- cord?
Using a pair of double pointed needles, cast on 4 stitches. Instead of turning and knitting back the other direction, slide all four stitches to other opposite end of the needle and knit into the first stitch that you cast on. Knit the rest of the stitches on the needle. Slide them down to the opposite end and repeat. You are knitting in the round on a very small scale. Bind off as you would in the round. My aunt makes custom shoelaces by knitting I-Cord with number 10 crochet thread. -smcm

Well ... you're sticking a needle into your skin. Of course it hurts, but it's not bad because first they give you a shot that numbs the area so you don't feel it after the shot.

How many chain crochet stitches to make 88?
To make 88 single crochets, you would make 89 chain stitches and go into the second chain from hook to make your first single crochet. To make 88 double crochets, you would make 90 chain stitches and go into the 4th chain from hook. The first 3 skipped chains count as a stitch which is why you are ending up with only 2 less than the original chain.
What does slip 1 mean in knitting?
There are two ways to slip a stitch, knit-wise and purl-wise. When in doubt, generally you should slip purl-wise. Insert the needle into the stitch to be slipped either as if to knit (knit-wise) or as if to purl (purl-wise). Then slide it off the left needle without pulling a new stitch through it. That's all there is to it. Here are some applications: For a tidy selvage edge, slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise. For a decrease that is the mirror image of a K2TOG, do an SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit). Slip one stitch knit-wise. Slip another stitch knit-wise. Slipping knit-wise gives the stitches a half twist. Now slip them both together back onto the left needle, passing them with the needles held tip to tip. Knit them together through the back loops.
How do you knit in the round?
You need circular knitting needles, which you can get at any craft shop. You can also use double pointed (also called double ended) needles. Double pointed needles ususally come in a set of 5 but you generally only need 4 to knit in the round. This is the traditional way of circular knitting used before circular needles were available. I think it's easiest to cast on the stitches using a straight needle first and then transfer them to the circular/double point needle after. Once you transfer all your stitches (be EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO TWIST THE STITCHES!) you just join the two sides and knit away. Joining the ends is as easy as knitting to the end of the row and then knitting the first stitch without purling back or reversing direction at all. Knitting in the round is nice because you always go the same direction, the right side is always facing you, you don't have to change direction, and there are no seams to sew because your tube is closed (like a sock). There are tons of great books for beginners that can help you get more info about this. Best of luck to you! --jo

How do you start knitting and knit?
First you need two knitting needles, preferably of the same size and length, then you need some yarn or wool. To start knitting you need to cast on. Try this answer on how to cast on . . .How_do_you_cast_on_in_KnittingTo begin knitting after you have cast on the number of stitches you are happy with, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle, from bottom to top, right to left, making sure the right needle goes behind the left needle. You should now be holding the needles in an X shape with the working yarn beside them both. Wrap the yarn around the back needle and then in between the needles. You then bring the right (back) needle to the front, keep in on the left needle to you don't lose the stitch. Then lift the right needle with the new loop stitch on it over and off the left needle. You should now have a new stitch on your right needle. Repeat this until you have finished the row. Then you do it on all the other rows until you are done.
