craftgrrlWhat type of knitting needles do you prefer: metal, wooded or plastic?
Why?
I am having a difficult time knitting. I'm not sure if it is the needles, the yarn or me that is the problem. I had no problem at all making one of the knitted kittens using size 2 aluminum needles and "Sugar'n Cream" cotton yarn.
Now I am trying to make a scarf using the same yarn, size 9 acrylic needles and stockinette stitch...well, I know the stockinette stitch has a tendancy to curl, so I'm trying to do a ribbed design.
The problem I'm having is that the stitches are HUGE on one end, but they're fine through-out the rest of the piece.
Any ideas or tips?
