I’ll look into if I can upload left handed versions of my videos to help 👍 in the meantime, if you use the Chrome browser I think you can get plugins to flip videos so they will look left handed. Here’s one I found chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-mirror/nokjcgeafjfhlbclmmgfeiiebgjfollb?pli=1 hope this helps, Janine

Does anyone know if its possible to change just to knew tops? So without an extra cable? ( I thought buying 1 cable en 2 different size interchangeable tips would do the job 😁but not I'm not sure....)

[@craftfixblog]

Yes you’re right! That’s a great advantage of interchangeable tips - you can indeed just screw tips on & off without changing cable. But if you are switching to a bigger/thicker needle size, just change the right tip at the start of the round and wait until the end of the round to change the left tip so that your stitches are not too tight for the left tip on the switching round. In fact some never change the left tip & just leave it at the smaller size but I find that too confusing. Hope this helps

I'm using this method got things stuck at end round but I've managed to sort it out and knitting with circlur needles miles better as more room shuffle knitting along were with knitting needles no room left I'm trying make a circlur blanket garter stiche one

[@craftfixblog]

Yes a circular needle means you can fit much more stitches so great for blankets. But I even use them knitting smaller projects as I find them easier on my wrists as the weight of the knitting is on the cable

I haven't done ribbing? Im doin Gardner stiches for blanket.

[@craftfixblog]

So that means you’re knitting every stitch in the row? Many garter stitch blankets would use the same needle thickness for the whole blanket so you would only need to switch needle if you run out of room and need to move to a longer circular
