flea-market finds: a bilingual tape measure with centimetres on one side and inches on the other, a batch of crochet hooks, made from a hard kind of plastic and much more comfortable than the metal ones (unfortunately with no sizes shown on them), and a pair of long wooden knitting needles with hooks instead of points - I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me the purpose of these! They are too long for crochet hooks, and have stoppers on the end like knitting needles. Maybe you just knit with them in the ordinary way and the hooks stop the stitches from slipping off? I haven't tried them yet. Edit: now I know that these are Portuguese knitting needles and even found a video that shows how they are used watch
De udskiftelige rundpinde fra Zing er behagelige at holde ved og dejlige at strikke med. De er produceret i det stærke og holdbare materiale aluminium, og du vil derfor have strikkepinde i mange år. Da aluminium samtidig er et let materiale, vejer pindene ikke meget, ligesom materialet ikke er koldt i hænderne. Letheden gør, at du kan holde til at strikke med dem i lang tid ad gangen. Strikkepindene har ligeledes en meget glat overflade, hvor garnet glider nemt. Det er derfor meget behageligt at arbejde med disse jumperpinde fra Zing. De udskiftelige rundpinde kan bruges af såvel nybegynderen som den erfarne strikker. Da de er holdbare og af god kvalitet, er strikkepindene et godt og solidt arbejdsredskab for alle uanset erfaring. Rundpindene kan bruges til alle slags strikkeprojekter – uanset om det er rundstrik eller frem og tilbage. Zing-serien adskiller sig ved, at hver pindstørrelse har sin egen unikke farve, hvilket gør det nemt at se forskel på pindene og hurtigt finde den størrelse, som du er på udkig efter. Farverne er farvestrålende og sætter automatisk kulør på dit strikketøj. Rundpindene kommer i flere forskellige størrelser fra 3 og op til 8 mm og med wirer i flere forskellige længder. Fordelen ved udskiftelige rundpinde er, at du nemt kan bygge præcis dén rundpind, som du skal bruge til det enkelte strikkeprojekt, og skal du skifte pindstørrelse eller længde undervejs, er dette også nemt at ordne uden at skulle have arbejdet over på en helt ny rundpind. Pindene er nikkelfrie, og du kan derfor strikke uden bekymring om allergiske reaktioner. Zing er lavet af KnitPro, som er én af de førende producenter af strikkepinde og hæklenåle. Zing-kollektionen indeholder et bredt udvalg af forskellige strikkepinde, hvor du i serien både kan få faste og udskiftelige rundpinde, jumperpinde, strømpepinde, strikkepindesæt samt diverse strikketilbehør.

De faste rundpinde fra Karbonz er produceret i kulfiber – også kaldet karbon. Kulfiber er et både stærkt og let materiale, og Karbonz-serien er derfor en kombination af de bedste egenskaber fra metal og træ, som er henholdsvis stærkt og let. Rundpindene fra Karbonz er derfor meget stærke og vejer ikke meget. De har ligeledes en meget glat og blød overflade, hvilket giver en god strikkeoplevelse. Da kulfiber ikke er et koldt materiale, føles pindene ikke kolde at holde ved, og du vil sagtens kunne arbejde med de behagelige rundpinde i flere timer i træk. Strikkepindenes spidser er belagt med messing, som glider nemt igennem maskerne. Rundpindene fra Karbonz har et meget enkelt og stilrent look, som er holdt i sort med ender i messing. De faste rundpinde kan bruges af både den øvede strikker og nybegynderen, da mange vil synes godt om de dejlige og lette strikkepinde, som tilmed er lavet i et virkelig holdbart materiale. De kan derfor sagtens holde til at blive brugt, og du vil kunne have dem i mange år. De kan bruges til alle typer strikkeprojekter og ikke kun, når der skal strikkes rundt. De faste rundpinde adskiller sig fra de udskiftelige ved, at pindene og wiren ikke kan skilles ad og udskiftes med fx en længere wire. De faste rundpinde kommer i længder på 40, 60, 80 og 100 cm og i tykkelser fra 2 og op til 8 mm. Du finder derfor nemt en rundpind, som passer til dit projekt. Karbonz er lavet af KnitPro, som er én af de førende producenter, når det kommer til strikkepinde og hæklenåle. I Karbonz-serien kan du få forskellige strikkepinde: faste og udskiftelige rundpinde, jumperpinde, strømpepinde, strikkepindesæt og forskelligt strikketilbehør.

Crochet hook size matters - a lot for project final outcomes. Here’s your guide to everything you need to know about crochet needle sizes.

３の倍数の数字が、なんだか大きくなってしまいました。 11.5cmの超短編み針、6サイズ×各５本。おしゃれ工房11月号を見て、どうしてもほしくなり、申し込みました。ケースはなく透明の袋に３０本の針が包装されているだけなので、１本取り出すとカラカラ〜と針が流れ出てきます。そろそろこの針に活躍してもらおうと思っているので、まずはケースを作りました。この短い針、買われた方がたくさんいらっしゃるみたいで、みなさんがどんな収納されているのか気になります。 針の入っていた袋を封していた羊の絵のついたシールと検印の小さな紙はすてられず、６の数字のポケットに入れてあります。 去年編んだ手紡ぎ、手染め糸の人生初…
The crochet cast-on method creates a really neat edge that resembles a chain cast-off edge. Because of this, this cast-on method is sometimes known as the cast-off cast-on method. When Should You Use...

Sponsored post*. As always, all opinions are my own and completely honest. When I was contacted about trying out some innovative knitting needles which had been 'reinvented for human hands', my reply with probably tinged with a hint of scepticism. I've tried lots of different needles and already have my favourites, but when I saw the promotional video my interest was piqued. Take a look and see what you think... It's a good point. Technology has advanced so much since people have been knitting, maybe there could be a way to improve upon our fairly rudimentary tools. I agreed to take a look and a few days later sample Prym Ergonomics needles arrived from Germany. I was sent 6mm single pointed needles (35 cm long) and 4mm double pointed needles (20cm long) to try out. The needles are made from 'high-performance synthetic material' which makes them light to hold, flexible and smooth. The lack of weight is immediately noticeable so I got the scales out. Each 4mm x 20cm DPN weighs just 3g. Compared with a standard metal DPN of the same size and length at 6.3g, this is quite a difference. Especially when you multiply that difference by five needles, over a long project. This can only be good news for hands and wrists, especially those that are sensitive to repetitive motion. (The 6mm x 35mm straight needles weigh 17.8g, but I didn't have anything to compare those with as I don't usually use straight needles.) As well as the material, the shape of the Ergonomics is another unique selling point, and the name pretty much gives it away - they are indeed ergonomic. The main shaft is triangular which is very comfortable to hold. It also means that stitches glide very easily, and you don't need to shuffle them along. In my experience, swapping metal needles for (lighter weight) bamboo or plastic usually means plenty of shuffling and 'drag' so this is a great feature. But these are not triangular for the whole length of the needle. Behind the tip is a rounded section of the shaft - this is where the stitches are formed. The tip has a 'drop-shape' (to me it's more of a teat-shape, actually) which is designed to make the picking up and guiding of the yarn easier. I can see how that would be the case for a new knitter, but as is isn't something I struggle with, for me they just let me knit quickly and quietly - my go-to needles have metal tips and apparently you can gauge my mood by the noise level - beware if the clickety-clacking is loud! Each section transitions neatly into the next and it all adds up to a very nice knitting experience. When you've finished a row and are ready to put down your knitting, you can clip the needles together to secure the stitches. Why on earth hasn't this been done before? It seems so obvious now! In the title, I questioned whether these might be game-changers, and I think they might well be. They are pleasant and easy to knit with - the stitches glide easily and they really are so much lighter to use than more traditional needles. When I consider my grandmother who really struggles to knit due to severe arthritis in her hands and wrists, I think these would make a huge difference. I'll be interested to see what she makes of these. I also think they would make learning to knit easier, as they feel manageable and comfortable to hold, although I realise beginners might be hesitant to invest in them compared with the range of cheaper needles available (as with 'cheap' yarn, I consider that a false economy, but I do understand the sentiment). Single- and double-pointed needles go on sale this week in Europe and circular needles will follow in the summer. As a price guide, John Lewis will be stocking the needles for between £7 and £13 depending on the size/type. Prices may vary with other retailers. The full range will include: Single-pointed needles in 35cm length between 3mm and 10mm, and in 40cm length between 3mm and 12mm gauge. Double-pointed needles which are 20cm long and available from 3mm to 8mm. Circular needles in two lengths (60cm and 80cm) also between 3mm and 12 mm. RRP to follow when they are released. I'd really like to try 10mm straights to see whether they help alleviate the cramps I often get with larger needles and can't wait to get my hands on the circulars. The cables are steel which gives me hope (my usual brand has coated steel cables and I love the way they function). If these needles prove popular, then I hope it's also possible to make them with a smaller gauge - I usually knit socks on 2mm or 2.5mm needles and would love to try these tips out on a fiddly little project where I think they would really come into their own. As soon as I have any further information about the circulars I'll be sure to update you. In the meantime, let me know what you think of these in the comments, especially if you've already had the chance to try them. *post sponsored by VIRAL LAB.
