Is it easier to learn how to work with double pointed needles when knitting or use 3 or 4 needles at time? ?

I'm trying to make socks for the first time and one pattern calls for using double pointed needles and the other using 3 & 4 needles at a time. Any ideas where i can learn to do one of these?

I just taught myself how to knit on double pointed needles in September by looking on the net!

You cast on the desired amount of stitches. Then divide them into 3 needles. I also put a different amount on my "start" needle so I know where the beginning is. So if I have 30 stitches, I may divide by 10, 9 and 11 with 9 being on my start needle. You can also use a knitting marker too.

Once you have casted on, you take the fourth needle and begin to knit. Since you are "knitting in the round" you will see the knit side of the stitches and the purl (the side with the bumps) will be on the inside. (If your knitting doesn't look like this, you are going in the wrong direction or holding the needles improperly. I did this my first time!)

There are a lot of videos available. I like knittinghelp.com. You can view the video for double points here: http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/advanced-techniques

If you are still stuck, check out YouTube because there are a lot there. I would take some practice yarn and work that first so that you have the technique down before you begin your socks. It takes a bit to get used to having 3 needles, but it's really not that bad.

Good luck!

Knitting/Crocheting is one of those things that appears much harder than it really is. You could ask a friend or relative who knits/crochets, to show you how. If you do not know anyone who then you might want to take a class at your local community college, or join a local group.

Knitting and crocheting (and equally the knitters and cricketers' themselves) is an act without prejudice or bias, and there is something within the knitter or crocheter that longs to warm others in hard times. Even if the artisan brings her own bias to the craft, ultimately only good can come of it. Knit crochet stockinet is different from latch hook stockinet is different from knit stockinet. While crochet stockinet fabric can be made in several ways, it is unrealistic to expect it to behave as if it were knit.

Adjustments to the size changes are then made by adding or subtracting from the stitch counts in each of the model garments. Add these towel toppers to ordinary towels for a brand new look and give them as quick gifts! This pattern gives you two different methods for attaching your towel topper to your towel. Advanced crochet can have you making things as fantastic as exquisite lace with very fine yarn. For the beginner though, one of the advantages of this hobby is that it is very inexpensive to get started, since the tools you'll need at the onset are low cost and few in number.

Pattern for crocheting in rows is charted row by row. It starts from the foundation chain. Patterns are many and varied. From blankets created by joining many motifs together, to those created in one piece

Everyone who sews wants to sew better. No matter what project you are working on, you want it to look amazing, as though you purchased it from a top designer.. Everyone wants to quit their day job to have a full time career in crochet designing. Although it's possible for some people to earn a living from designing, most use it as a second income.

Understanding why you do certain things and why they turn out the way they do increases confidence and leads to successful crocheting. Understanding this will help you decide about how you are going to position your product in the marketplace.

Anything complicated in crochet is made of one of the simple stitches. Its a little like learning math's, when you learn math's you learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Anything that can stand up to washing and repeated use, as well as creates a nice, useful fabric. If you're making a washcloth I suggest working with cotton.

Actually, you can do a lot with double and triple crochet stitches! If you look at most patterns, that is what they are made of (plus the single stitch of course) Its the yarn that usually gives the interest.

Everything has to be bought and paid for. Even the air you breathe has to be paid for. Everything is coming up roses with this delightful collection of flowers to knit and crochet. The perfect way to use up scraps of yarn or practice using novelty yarns, you can use them to decorate clothing, hats, bags and belts, embellish home accessories, or make a beautiful bouquet as an unusual display piece.
