Last 10 years, I bought a lot of circular needles in different sizes and length according to patterns. I don't want to count how many I have as I may start calculating how much money I spent on them ๐
Now I rarely buy them. It's not only because I have enough needles ... but also I found a way to use a longer one for a knitting object with a shorter circumference length.
For example, a 60cm circular needle for knitting socks or a 80cm circular needle for knitting a hat. That's sounds crazy. But you can do it by keeping the excess part of the circular needle out:
I know it's not a good photo with a black yarn and a circular needle with a black cord ... and not a good lighting condition ๐ I wish you can see there are two parts of cord pops out from the sides. I learned this technique from a pattern that shows sock knitting with a circular needle.
If you know this, you can save money and keep your knitting equipments minimal ๐
Happy needle work Monday!
