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.
Is there a difference in fit when knitting a sock on 4 double pointed needles verse 3 double pointed needles?
There should be no difference as the number of stitches doesn't change. I use four needles up to the point where I start the instep and divide for the heel, then I change to three, one for the instep and two for the heel, but only because I find it easier to follow my pattern for the decreases once I finish the heel.
Can you knit a hat with straight needles?
You can if you seam up the side and it it is a great thing to do for beginners when you have the right pattern, which is the difficult part. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use circular needles you can use DPNs (double pointed needles) to knit in the round. Often in hat patterns which use circular needles you will need DPNs anyway, so it is good to have some of these when you knit in the round.
A heeling treatment using a needles?
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.
What were some of the examples of inventions made in the colonies of early America?
Some of the innovations of the early colonists still serve us well. The invention of double pointed needles for sewing machines, the establishment of daylight savings time. Benjamin Franklin contributions of the Franklin stove and Bi-focals are still in use today.
Why do people use different sized knitting needles?
To increase the number of stitches per inch. That is, smaller needles produce a tighter woven piece, while larger needles produce a looser, more open woven piece.
Can sewing needles be use for drug taking?
Not really. Needles used to inject drugs are hollow. Sewing needles are not.
How are pine needles and tulip leaves alike?
