Description

The listing, Knitting Thumb Needles 4" Short 1 Set of 4 has ended.

I CHARGE SHIPPING. This is a new product designed by an experienced knitter for use on small tubulare knitting jobs like thumbs, fingers, doll clothes, belts, etc. They are made to my specifications. (Well, who did you think?) I have knitted hundreds of mittens both with and without them. When you only have a few stitches on each needle the long aluminum needles will fall out of the sts on the needle not in your hands. These are only 4" short so they stay in the sts better. Much easier to work with. They are made in plastic or wood. Sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13,15 & 16. Right now I also have a few of size 2 but they break during the manufacturing process. This is one set of 4 double pointed needles. So tell me what size you want. You should get the same size as the long needles you use. It you want more than one set, you can add $2 each set to the shippuing cost. The 4 needles will usually be all the same color. I also pioneered an easy way to count the number of rows you are knitting. For this you need 3 needles alike and the 4th different. You cast on or pick up sts with the three alike. Then you begin the first row with the odd needle. You knit around and around until you are back at the beginning and have the odd needle free. You have just knitted 4. rows. The next time is 8 rows, etc. Fingers and thumbs are usually 20 rows or less. If you want to do this, I can make your set 3 alike and the 4th different. You can try this with any set of needles. Mark one needle with marking pen or nail poliish. On ribbed cuffs I make them 12, 16 or 20 rows. Ribbing is particularly difficult to count rows. Once you try it you'll like it. I have been knitting for over 50 years so I know what I am talking about. If you want a set of 5 or any other oddity, just write. *** I have misplaced my box of plastic needles so I only have wooden ones now. Wood only comes in sizes 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10.5, 11, 13 & 16.
