Ooooh, I'm glad I found this video. I'm working on a pattern right now using the shortest length circular needle I could find and it's killing my hands, because the needles are too short for my hands to hold comfortably. I'll give this a try tomorrow!
I really like the way you teach. Your voice is so soothing. Thank you for sharing all of your tips. This one was particularly useful as I am knitting sleeves for a sweater for my grand baby and there are very few stitches.
Excellent tutorials. Explained So very clearly. I watched a few tutorials on here on using two circulars. But none of them are so well explained as yours. Thanks so much.
Thank you so very much for this fantastic video. What a great teacher you are. It really helps that you take your time and explain what your doing as you do it. Seems like I've tried them all and I could do it but dreaded it... Really dreaded it but I wanted to make mittens for my grand daughter. The second one you showed is PERFECT for me, and I haven't in all the videos I've watched seen that technic. Iam doing it now and I LOVE it Thank you so very much.
Great tutorial Maryna! I’ve heard of this method but have never seen it in action. I can see that the second method would be easier for me anyway. Thank you so much for sharing! 🤗
Thank you for the second clever way of performing the trick. I do want to point out that if you use 2 different kinds of needles, on 1 side metal and bamboo on the other side, you can end up with gauge differences. If you use the second method it would be less of a problem....Do you see what I mean?
Hi my dearest the best tutor Mat I ask you 3 questions 1 as I like and I have used this needle so, please what is it made of, because I don’t know. 2 can I find them in set all the sizes and interchangeably. 3 where can I buy them Because when searched I found only individual not as set Thank you very much and I appreciate if could help me and of course you always helping me Best regards Fatima
My dear Fatima. These needles are made of bamboo. I didn't get them as a set, so I don't know where to get sets of bamboo needles. Contact your local yarn store - they will know better how to help you. Good luck :-)
@@10rowsaday I totally agree, also by trying new methods we make new brain connections. With the 2 methods you suggest we need 2 pairs of needles. I have 2 ChiaoGoo kits, the Twist 4" and the Twist Mini 4". I don't want to invest anymore. LOL
Hi hope you’re well thank you for your tutorials I’m one of your paid members I’m disabled and would desperately like to learn how to knit a sweater. I can knit but I cannot seem to increase or decrease and maintain the integrity of a lace pattern. My pattern always goes wrong please can you help me 😊 If I could learn how to do this technique I would be very happy and I would really appreciate it.
Please consider joining the knit-along that starts next week. We'll be making an Everyday Tee together. I hope you will find this knit-along helpful :-)
I am working on a large sweater in the round. Can I switch to two needles in the middle of the sweater? The stitches get tight and I have to constantly push them. I think the two needle method would save me time. Thanks
Of course, Tobi. You can switch from one circular needle to two circular needles and continue to work in the round. Just make sure all needles are of the same size. Good luck :-)
When I join to work in the round I like to cast on an extra stitch and pass the last stitch over the first which you don't do in this method. How do you prevent a gap or a ladder between the two needles?
Hi Jo. I agree, it is a good idea to join stitches for working in the round. Here's a tutorials about this topic - www.10rowsaday.com/join-round . I didn't use any of those ways in this video tutorial because I wanted to focus on the process of working with two circular needles. As to the ladders between two needles, I try to keep my tension even as I move from one needle to the other. In most cases it helps. When it doesn't and I see the ladders in the project, I usually fix them when I block the project. Happy knitting :-)
Did you have to join to make a circle. I thought you had to put on an extra stitch & then knit that & then pass the stitch over to form the loop. Didn’t see how you joined the yarn.
There are a few ways to start working in the round - you can cast on an extra stitch and work the first and the last stitches together, or pass that extra stitch over the first stitch you cast on and off the needles, or you can simply start to work in the round without any special way to join stitches. That's what I do most of the time because it is the fastest and the easiest approach. Happy knitting :-)
Hello. As it is explained in the "Needles" section on page 2 of the pattern, you can make Brigitte Beret using one long circular needle and the magic loop technique, two circular needles or double-pointed needles. The instructions for making a cabillou are on page 4 of the pattern. Happy knitting :-)
I am looking for some help. Last year I started a hat in a round, I lost the video on how to end the hat. This women made a one step hat. She did not decrease at all just turned it inside to make it double somehow. I don't want to take it out, but I can't remember how she ended the hat. Does anyone know what I am talking about?? this women was from a different country, very easy to follow all I remember.
Hi. I need help. I first knit one at a time toe up GSR heel socks on one 9” circular. And then knit Two at a time toe up socks on one long circular using Magic Loop Now I’ve bought two sets of the same size tips (2.5) and two 14” cables so I can knit Two at a time; Toe up socks; using Judy’s Magic Cast On. But on Two Circulars. I found Magic Loop really annoying I can’t find a sock pattern or tutorial for that combination. I’ve been searching and searching but can’t seem to find anything exact. Can you direct me to a pattern with video tutorial (I’m a see-do learner)? Thank you 🙏
This video tutorial explains two ways to make any seamless project on two circular needles. Use the way that is more comfortable to you and treat two socks placed side-by-side on your needles as if it was just one sock. This approach usually helps to avoid confusion. Happy knitting :-)
@@10rowsaday Thank you. I did work out how to knit two socks on two circulars. It took quite a few turns at starting over again until I worked out HOW TAAT goes on Two Circulars. I kept having to pull my knitting undone until I finally understood how two circulars are meant to go. Even video tutorials I’d watched - and I literally spent days watching EVERY sock knitting tutorial video that came up in my specific and even less exact searches - but none were explicit enough for me about the very important step of how two circulars are set up and how I was meant to work them. I had to work it out by trial and error to realise that I kept knitting myself ‘into a six’, and how not to do that. Now that I understand HOW two circulars work I am amazed I didn’t get it immediately. But that’s the brain for you. It has trouble imagining something it doesn’t know. And a brain that knows a thing isn’t always aware how it is for a brain that doesn’t know what can seem so simple. Thanks for your kindness. Appreciated
