If you read this blog, you may know that the 9″ circular is my favorite way to knit socks.
They’re compact and great for traveling.
But, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how it actually works when knitting, particularly with the heel flap. So I made you a video!
So many,many thanks Stacey this video is a very
big help for me! Now I really going to find a 9″. It will fit in my purse
And a perfect knit on the go project
Kisses!
You make it look so fun!
Can’t wait to try 9″ needles Stacey! Were can I get a pair. I’m a bit miffed about hoe to follow a sock pattern using these needles. I guess when you start it will all fall into place.
Hi Karen! I would check your local yarn store or perhaps order them online! My local JoAnn’s also carries them.
Hi, Stacey! I’m an avid sock knitter (probably 100 pairs and counting). I’ve knit them with double points, two circulars and magic loop, but have never tried the 9″ circular method. Your video has inspired me to order a 9″ 2.25 circular needle and I’m going to go for it! 🙂
I’m so happy to hear that, Mary!
Hi Stacey, Is the 9″ circular needle 9″ from the tip of the needle to the tip of the next one or is the cable 9″. I am trying to make preemie hats for the hospital but my circular needle is too big and this sounds ideal
It’s measured from tip to tip of the needles.
thank you so much for this! i’m going to look at the rest of your site now 🙂
