I am no longer confused. Thank you!
At first I didn't realize to knit a hat I will require circular needles especially if it is a berret hat. Few times before I used the straight normal needles. I'm happy know to knit a berret hat is best to use circular needles. Thank you for this info. Yaeee!!! 👍
Thank you so much. I was always confused about this. Your presentation was perfect. Not too slow and not too fast. And all the different types of needles helped too.
Enjoy your videos. each and every time. Thank-you.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I needed to know!
Great way to refer back when I forget how to measure the lengths. :-) Thank you Nancy!

Thank you. Most helpful indeed.
Perfect video. Easy to understand, you answered my question about needle size, starting circular knitting and knitting in yarn at second round. Thank you
Hi William, I'm happy to hear I answered your question. Happy Knit Year 2020! 😀

Hi Rosllin, I'm so happy it helped you! Let me know if you have other knitting questions. 😀
Thank you. This is so confusing.
Comments were great! Thankyou.
You're welcome, Sheila! 😀
Thank you. This was so helpful, especially for someone whos decided this year to try something new, like going from crochet to knitting. So Im a little bit overwhelmed at the moment.. Ive been crocheting since I was 7 /8 years old. (Im now 52 .so the math) A nun taught me in 3rd class to stop me from figiting.
Hi Luisa, I'm so glad to hear you are diving into knitting. Since you are a crocheter, I'm going to let you in on a little secret...it's really easy to pick up Continental knitting if you are already a crocheter because you hold the needles almost the same way as you hold a crochet hook! Here's a video I made on Continental knitting: th-cam.com/video/852OwkobTPc/w-d-xo.html Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
Thank you! Adventurous beginner here. I have a set of interchangeables and was confused about length. Didn't know if I was just measuring the cable or including the needles.
Hi missree1995, I'm so glad I could help. Knitting needle lengths and sizes can be very confusing when you are getting started. Let me know if you get stuck on anything else! 😀
Thank you I’ve always wondered how to measure
So glad I could help! 😀
Thank you for the video! Don't forget magic loop, expecially for smaller projects much easier in my opinon.
Hi Morgana, You are right, great tip! 😀
That's how I keep my needles
Thank you....very helpful!!

Thank you!!!
I would like to know how to measure the cable themselves. I useca mixture of short and 4" needles.
Just what I needed to know!! Thank you so much Nancy. BTW I found a bag of used circulars in all sizes and they were “supposedly” 32 inches long. NOT! But what I wanted to tell you since instead of a bag like yours mine are in a drawer LOL! Anyway these needles came to me marked with a sharpie with each inside a plastic fold over CD Sleeve! What a great idea! I actually DID find 100 of these sleeves on EBay for about $7.00! Thanks again for a very informative video!
Hi Janie, You hit the knitting jackpot! Thanks for the tip about the knitting sleeves on eBay...worth checking out! 😀
@@nobleknits Thank you Nancy. You have made it really easy to understand. I have a cowl that I am wanting to knit and it is in the round and it is the first time that I have ever knit anything in the round. (I am a crocheter that is teaching myself to knit.) I have really been enjoying all of your videos. Thank you.
Wall hooks for keys can be used as to hold circular needles knitting too!
That is a genius idea! 😀
I want to use circular needles to make ladies leg warmers what number do I ues.
Hi there, I just wanted to ask for some help with choosing what size circular needles to get please?
I'm from Australia and will usually buy a size 16-18 cardigan as I like them to be oversized and comfortable, but for knitting my own on circular needles I can't work out if I need 100cm ones or if 80cm would be ok?
I would also be buying them for making some jumpers as well, but also prefer my jumpers to be loose fitting for extra comfort.
If you're able to make any recommendations I'd be very grateful, as I'm still quite lost despite researching for hours trying to work it out. I've only ever knitted on regular straight needles, not on circular ones before, so am really hoping for some guidance.
Thanks so much! 😊
So I'm organizing my needles after years away from knitting...Do some circulars just come in odd lengths? I'm measuring tip-to-tip, but it's not landing on a full inch. Would this maybe be shrinkage from improper storage? Or do variations always occur? Thanks in advance for any clarity!
i ordered size 8 16 inch addi rocket needles on amazon i got size 8 but the cable was size 9 i called the company sckal thst sells the needles but only to yarn stores not places like Michael's we have no knit shop here the company told me to send the needles to them and they will give me the right size but i do not know how they measure their needles so i sm writing them a letter and telling them to make the cable size 16 inches thst is how i have slways purchased 16 inch needles what has changed
Thanks for the video! My problem is a pattern asking for a certain size and my stitches not reaching the ends! in this situation would you just use them in a magic loop kind of method? or would you use smaller circumference? Or will the stitches stretch a little more after the cast on edge?
Hi Geedub, Great question! Start by taking a look at the finished circumference of the garment. I don't know what you are making so I'll just use an example. Let's say you are knitting a cowl and it's a 20" circumference and you are using a 24" long circular needle. In this case, work the stitches around and it will stretch a bit more after you've knitted a round or two. However, if you are knitting socks and the design calls for a 40" needle, you'll want to use the magic loop method.
I hope that helps! 😀
Hi, do they make 20” circular needles from point to point? I can’t find them anywhere.
Hi Elizabeth! Yes, there are several brands that make 20" circular needles and I've used both of the brands I'm going to give you. They come in a wide variety of needle sizes. Check out Hiya Hiya Steel 20" Circulars: amzn.to/2HmJczR as well as Addi Turbo 20" Circulars: amzn.to/2HqFll6 If you prefer bamboo, there's also these from Addi: amzn.to/2ZguR2V Happy knitting! 😀
Just curious ... I'm not a very experienced knitter, however, have been able to follow a pattern for a tunic that is knitted joined in the round. Pattern instructed regarding needle length, etc., however, when I got to where I was finishing neckline and needed to join in the round, pattern did not say to change needle length and so I struggled with stretched stitches. Do patterns typically usually assume you should know to adapt to the smaller circumferences within a pattern?
Hi Marilyn, that is a great question! It's true, most patterns don't tell you when to change needle length. Most often the pattern will include in the "Materials" all of the needle sizes and lengths used to knit the project, but it is often assumed you'll know when to use them especially when knitting a garment. After knitting a few garments, you'll find the needle lengths used at certain points ie. sleeves, cuffs, and neckline are usually 20" or smaller.
@@nobleknits so helpful to know ... thank you.
So you measure from tip to tip not just the strand?
You are exactly right, Sandra! 😀
NobleKnits thanks!!
