I want to buy a set of circular needles because I have the money and if I don’t do it now, I never will. The book I’m learning from (Stitch’n Bitch, The Knitter’s Handbook) has three different sizes it says I should buy, along with straight and double pointed needles, but I can’t buy all three circular sets right now. She says to buy a 32” set, a 24” and a 16” set. 

What length should I start with? I’m assuming that depends on what I want to make but I want to make all the things! I especially love amigurumi, but I can usually crochet those. I do want to make sweaters for my daughter and myself and socks for my husband though. I already have a two sets of double pointed needles: size 2 and size 8.

Should I just get a 9 inch set of double pointed needles? Uhg… I don’t know. Help a new knitter out?

Don’t work especially well under jeans. They ended up slipping to my knees, which isn’t really that far but I had no way to pull them back up when I went food shopping yesterday. They did keep my legs amazingly warm though! I think I’m going to have to get a few skirts for the spring. The only skirt I had was birthed on by our cat. It’s ok though… it was one of those red and black plaid numbers that I’ll never wear outside the house again. 

This girl! Clearance rack at target ‘cause I ain’t paying $7 for one pair of socks!
