Your answer depends on how quickly or slowly you knit.
Practically, a loom is used for weaving. Knitting is accomplished on a knitting machine or completed by hand using knitting needles.
A craft store, like Hobby Lobby or Joann's Fabrics has a variety of items for organizing knitting needles. Depending on the length of the various knitting needles, you might be able to gather them in a Pringles can if you don't want to purchase a roll-up organizer.
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.
Yes you can.you just have to pencil sharpen them a bit (not to sharp)and hay presto you have knitting needleshope this helps XD
"Knitting" refers to the process of binding something together. It can be by using yarn and two long slender, pointed rods called knitting needles, to make sweaters or other clothing. Example: She is knitting a sweater. It can also mean making something whole by the act of healing. Example: It took several weeks, but the bone did heal, the ends of the fracture knitting together nicely.
A knitting machine is designed to automate the process of knitting fabric, significantly increasing efficiency compared to hand knitting. It allows for the rapid production of various knit patterns and textures, making it ideal for manufacturing garments and textiles on a large scale. By using different types of needles and mechanisms, knitting machines can create intricate designs and achieve consistent quality in the finished products.
This could be standing in a depressed area while knitting using a round knitting needle.
Yarns are very variable, but in the US this is often called worsted weight. Personally I find DK tends to go further than a worsted weight yarn. I always check with a yarn swatch when using DK for a US pattern, as I often have to use a different hook size.
While a knitting needle is not ideal for tatting, you can use it in a pinch if you adapt your technique. Knitting needles are typically larger and may not allow for the fine control needed for the intricate loops and knots of tatting. However, if you use a thinner knitting needle and are comfortable with it, you can experiment and see if it works for your project. Just keep in mind that it may not produce the same results as a traditional tatting needle.
For knitting Phentex slippers, it's recommended to use size 6 (4 mm) or size 7 (4.5 mm) knitting needles. The exact size may vary depending on your tension and the specific pattern you are following. Always check the pattern instructions for any specific needle size recommendations. Using the right needle size will help achieve the desired fit and texture for your slippers.
It depends on how big you want it, and what texture and warmth you want it to give. You can choose to knit normal, purl, or any other knitting stitch that would work suitably. It also depends on what shape you want it square, rectangle, or shaped. If you just wanted to knit a square or rectangular, it would be fairly simple. If you would like a fluffy shawl, then Eyelash would be suitable (it is a specialty wool that makes your knitting fluffy). If you would like the knitting dense, then knit with smaller needles (probably between 2 3/4 mm up to 3 1/4 mm). If you want it less dense, then use bigger needles and knit loose. Another way to do this would to be to knit lots of squares and put them together, using the same wool or different if you want to make it colorful. Cast on the amount of stitches you are happy with and then knit until you are happy with the length, then cast off. If you want to make it colorful, then count the rows. If you want the color changes to be the same size then always match the row number. In normal knitting you can see the merge of colors Some people dislike this, so try to keep it on the same side to keep your knitting looking more professional, you can insure this by changing color only when you are on the side you don't want the merge to appear on.
The answer would depend on how wide you want your product to be. If you are using small diameter needles, you will need more stitches to work with than if you were using large needles. I normally use about 35 stitches to try out a pattern with.
