What are circular knitting needles?
The Sirdar Jewelspun textured blanket knitting kit pattern uses circular knitting needles. If you've never used circular knitting needles before: don't panic! They are not difficult to use.
Circular knitting needles can be used to knit something circular OR in this case they can be used to knit something that is flat and very wide. Specifically, too wide to fit on straight needles.
Holding the short needles may take some getting used to but soon you'll enjoy not having to scrunch all your stitches onto a not-long-enough straight needle!
