Knitting Needles!

There are many different knitting equipment you will need in your process of knitting!

Lets say you decide to make a jumper... Like I want to this month

You cant just use 'Normal' needles, You need some other special needles to get a certain type of effect.

There are three basic types of knitting needles

Normal needles - They come in various sizes ranging from 2 mm to 25 mm.

Double-pointed needles - Double-pointed needles are tapered at both ends, which allows them to be knit from either end. They are typically used for circular knitting

Circular needles - Cable needles are a special case of double pointed needle, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle, they are used to hold stitches temporarily while others are being knitted.

Thats pretty much the basics of knitting needles, in a few weeks time ill list the basics of wool and other equipment!
