Now we will look at some tools for knitting.
Ordinary knitting needles.
With the help of such spokes knit in rows as usual. Limiters at their ends prevent slipping of the hinges. There are knitting needles with a rod of uniform thickness and knitting needles for fast knitting, in which only the tip corresponds to the desired thickness, and the rod is thin, which in part facilitates the progress of the loops. It is also possible to choose between spokes made of plastic, metal, bamboo and wood. Circular knitting needles.
With these knitting needles you can knit in a circle. However, they are also well used for large knitted products, which are tied in rows back and forth. The working ends of such spokes are connected by a flexible fishing line. Depending on the size of the product, you can purchase circular knitting needles from 40 to 150 cm in length. It is also possible to choose between spokes made of metal, plastic or bamboo.
Flexible knitting needles.
First of all, they are designed for large parts. The end of each spoke is equipped with a flexible extension with a stop.
Stocking knitting needles.
Such spokes are 20 or 15 cm long and with tips at both ends are always sold with heads of five pieces. They are necessary for knitting socks or gloves. There are stocking knitting needles made of metal, plastic or bamboo.
Knitting needles for knitting.
These auxiliary spokes facilitate the execution of a pattern with wide braids. The spokes have a slight curvature in the middle, so the loops on them do not slip.
Holder for hinges.
On them you can put on hinges that are not currently used in the work. They work like big safety pins.
Limiter of loops.
Of soft rubber (even in the form of cubs), they will be needed if you want to postpone knitting at one time. Thanks to these adaptations, the loops do not slip off the spokes. They will also allow your work to transfer transportation well. These assistants are easily removed if you have a desire to continue knitting. Limiters of loops are represented in a variety of sizes.
Holders of yarn.
On these holders you can rewind small pieces of thread. Then, especially in multi-color works, you do not have to mess with big tangles.
Thimbles for knitting.
It is needed when you use threads of several colors in the same row when performing a jacquard pattern. The thimble is worn on the left index finger. Through small loops you can simultaneously stretch from 2 to 4 threads.
Counter of rows.
They put on the ends of the spokes. Turning the small counting drum after each row, you will always know at what stage your work is at.
Staples for marking loops.
These small parts can be attached to the hinges during operation. They can mark the tied rapports, the places of the holes for the buttons, the place of transition to the new circle or other necessary points.
The gauge of spokes.
With this device, you can determine the exact number of spokes that do not have the appropriate marking.
