I recently received a Boye Needle Master set for my birthday. I got needles sizes 2-15 and cables sizes 12" to 24". my question is the length of a circlular needle is only the cable or the cable with the needle. 16" is just the cable or both cable and needle?

May I direct you to my knitblog, wherein is (hopefully) solved the Mystery of the Turned Lace Corner. http://pandabonzai.blogspot.com/2006/07/it-is-done.html Now that's something I'm interested in seeing! Are you sure the short rows won't make a pucker like a sock heel? I'm totally crossing my fingers for you and demand to see at least a swatch. *nod*

Yugure no Tasogare I have a quick crochet question: with something I'm trying to make, I'm not sure how to join the rows properly due to the combo of slipstitch with chain. think anyone can help me? Are you joining rows on like a seam? Or are you joining rounds to make a circular object? And whatcha making? What part of it are you working on?

okay, I feel incredibly stupid asking this but how do I slip the first stich? Because my edges look funky too, and I pretty much make scarves, so they need to look representable.

Yugure no Tasogare joining rounds for circular object, working on making the body of an amigurumi Sorry, have been without my computer for a while. Okay, joining a round: Well, you start the round with a chain which will count as a single crochet; when you come back around to that chain, you want to make a slip stitch in it to "join" the round. I'm hoping that makes sense.... it's hard to tell rather than show. Let me know if you'd like a more detailed explaination!

AccentualWolf Can you block knitted items that are made with acrylic yarn? If so How do you do it?? Acrylic doesn't block. Since it's plastic, it kinda will just stay in the shape it knits up to. Any natural fiber (silk, cotton, wool, angora, alpaca, linen) will block with no problems.

john_deere_tractor okay, I feel incredibly stupid asking this but how do I slip the first stich? Because my edges look funky too, and I pretty much make scarves, so they need to look representable. All ya gotta do is put your needle into the stitch like you're going to knit, but just slip it onto that needle. For a slightly different look, you can put your needle in as if to purl, but either way, make sure to stay consistant throughout your piece. Hope that helps ya!
