I haven't bought needles in a while, but online I saw circulars for $7-10. As for size, look at the yarn you already have and on the label it will show a size recommendation. If you are lucky they will all be the same size rec's, but you could always just buy an average of what the rec. Really big yarn will need bigger needles though.
I have a interchangeable set of Denise that I LOVE [link] they are $50, but I saw some on ebay for cheaper. They are plastic which not everyone likes and they do not have the tiny tiny needles you need for socks and lace so you have to buy those separate if you ever want to do that type of work.
Okay, thanks. I have plans for the yarn store tomorrow, before I leave for the rest of the month. Will let you know how it goes! Hee.
I have a interchangeable set of Denise that I LOVE
I haven't knitted in a while, but I also love my Denise interchangeables. And I like the plastic: not as noisy or slippery as metal, not as friction-y as wood.
I will splurge on knitting needles and only use addi Turbos. They're fast and slick and make a satisfying click-click noise. I used a gift card to buy a set of addi Clicks (their version of the interchangable thing) and I like the flexibility but need to buy more tips. I tend to use a lot of 16" needles, so I've bought a bunch of those in sizes 6-15. I knit tight, so I usually have to go up a few sizes to get gauge.
I love sock yarn but get impatient knitting socks, so I use it for lacy scarves or shawls.
Hey what sizes do the addi lace needles run in?
I'm knitting a shawl on sixes - currently only at the very beginning so I'm using straights but will be switching to circs once I'm further along.
I am not sure because I've never used the lace needles. I have only used the regular Turbos.
I would like to thank everyone who purchased episode 6 of Drive. Today, I received my very first residual check.
Because of you, I can now buy another latte and will still have four cents left over. Which I may frame.
Man, that strike sure worked!
Aww, I know a latte is pretty puny, but I'm still excited, proud, and happy for Kristen.
