I'm hooked on circular needles. 🪝 And I'm not alone! At our Sip'N'Knit last week at Winemak'her Bar, every participant at Knit Along* used circular needles. For most people, the classic picture of knitting is the following scene: 🎞 A grandmother 👵, in a cozy armchair, near the fireplace 🔥. Probably a cat 🐈 sleeping by her feet, close to the balls of yarn 🧶. She holds two long straight sticks, and her fingers dance around the stitches at the rhythm of the metallic "clicks". 𝐴𝑚 𝐼 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡? There are many myths to debunk here, but I'll start with the tools! What are 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀? 𝐺𝑙𝑎𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑠𝑘! They are made with tapered needle tips, relatively short, connected by a flexible cable of various lengths. There are 3 main benefits of circular needles: 1️⃣ 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: They are appropriate for both knitting in the round and flat knitting techniques. In fact, you benefit from the cable length to hold your stitches for large projects like blankets. 2️⃣ 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: It is easier to manage your project to your personal space with smaller needle tips. You can easily knit in quite contained places like in the subway, the bus, on a plane... My friend Stephen Paquette is now taking his knitting on hikes! 3️⃣ 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: Take your project out even for a short time. Knit a few stitches, and push all the stitches on the cable when it's time to put it away (hello waiting rooms without scrolling on your phone). You can safely tuck your project away, the stitches will sit patiently on the cable until you return to them.  💬❓Knitters here, what kind of needles do you prefer? (I love you regardless! 😘)  💬❓Soon-to-be knitters? I can teach you how to knit and use circular needles! 🧶 Let’s knit a better world 🌎 Move the needles, one stitch at a time! 𝑃𝑆1: Circular needles can come in various sizes and materials, like in the picture below. An interchangeable set comes very handy if you are getting "serious"! PS2: I'll talk about knitting in the round and flat knitting techniques another time. 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑦 𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑒𝑑!

What goes around comes around. I'm not talking about betrayal and forgiveness here... Not about the cycle of seasons, roundabouts, or clocks... It's down on knitting techniques! 🧶 🛠️ Last week, I posted about my obsession with circular needles. Ref to the post on circular needles: https://lnkd.in/epXBUJ_Q In that post, I mentioned that circular needles are adaptable because appropriate for both knitting in the round and flat knitting. So, let's clarify those two concepts briefly: 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 = 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵.➡️ ↩️ ➡️ 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 = 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘂𝗺. 🔄 📗 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 is the common image we have about knitting. Two straight needles, a 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒, generally the front and visible side of the item, and a 𝑤𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒, most often the hidden part. The principle? Knit one side, turn around, knit the other side ➡️ ↩️ ➡️ You have a "Right side" and a "Wrong side". Wrong side because you essentially knit the opposite of what you want to see. Nothing "wrong"! It is how to knit for flat pieces, like a shawl, a scarf, a cardigan... and more! Nothing to worry about, most patterns will just tell you what to do! 📘 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 is more "you get what you do". There is no turning around. You keep going. Your stitches will come back to you circularly.  🔄 You can use either double-pointed needles or circular ones. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝐼 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠. It is ideal to make "tube" types of garments or pieces without having to seam: like a beanie, a cowl, sleeves, socks... headbands, and some sweaters are designed this way. And of course, our 𝑛𝑜𝑤 famous cocoon! 💬❓Want to see how that works? How do you join in the round to make this circular motion? The secrets are in the recorded video tutorials, freely available on the Brooknit Bonneterie LLC's website and our YouTube channel. It's easier than you think! I promise ✋ (Links in comments) 🧶 Let’s knit a better world 🌎 Move the needles, one stitch at a time!

Is a Circular Knitting Machine Worth Buying? First and foremost, the circular knitting machine offers unparalleled speed and efficiency. With the ability to knit in the round, this machine can produce seamless tubes of fabric at a rapid pace. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to mass-produce knitted items. The time-saving aspect of the circular knitting machine is a major draw for those who knit for profit or simply want to maximize their productivity. Furthermore, the circular knitting machine opens up a world of possibilities in terms of design and creativity. Its ability to produce intricate patterns and textures allows knitters to experiment with different techniques and styles. Whether you're interested in creating complex lace patterns or bold colorwork, the circular knitting machine provides the tools to bring your vision to life. This level of versatility is a key selling point for many knitters who want to expand their skills and explore new design possibilities. In addition to its speed and design capabilities, the circular knitting machine offers a more ergonomic and comfortable knitting experience. Unlike traditional hand knitting, which can lead to strain and fatigue, the circular knitting machine allows for a more relaxed and efficient knitting process. The machine's ease of use and ergonomic design make it an attractive option for knitters of all skill levels. Of course, like any investment, there are considerations to take into account before purchasing a circular knitting machine. It's important to weigh the upfront cost against the potential long-term benefits and savings in time and labor. Additionally, there is a learning curve associated with using a circular knitting machine, and it may take some time to master the techniques and operation of the machine. Another factor to consider is the space required to accommodate a circular knitting machine. These machines can be quite large and may not be suitable for those with limited space or storage options. It's important to assess whether you have the necessary space and resources to properly set up and maintain the machine before making a purchase. #leadsfon #knittingmachine #circularknittingmachine

Hello Everyone 🌹 This video provides a professional and detailed explanation of how knitting machines work, specifically focusing on needle action and machine parts. - The video starts by defining the different parts of a knitting machine needle. The important parts include the latch, hook, and butt. The latch plays a crucial role in knitting as it holds the yarn in place. The hook grabs the yarn to form a new stitch. The butt controls the movement of the needle. - Then the video explains how knitting needles work in a knitting cycle. Needles move up and down to knit. When a needle moves up, the old loop is cast off. Then the needle moves down and grabs a new yarn to form a new stitch. The latch is knocked over by the old loop as the old loop is cast off. - The video also talks about how the machine controls the movement of the needles. This is achieved by cams. Cams are designed to allow the needle to run straight up and down. There are rest cams, clearing cams, and stitch cams. Rest cams keep the needle in the running position. Clearing cams allow the needle to rise to clear the old loop. Stitch cams allow the needle to drop down to grab a new yarn. - Finally, the video introduces sinkers. Sinkers are elements that work together with needles to knit fabric. They help to move the fabric as needles knit new stitches. The sinker moves in to catch the fabric when the needle goes up. Then it moves out of the way to allow the needle to knit a new stitch. ✨ This video has a great explanation of knitting machines, I think you'll find it both educational and enjoyable! ⭐ #CircularKnittingBasics
