A Good Yarn / Re: Circular Knitting Needle Question
« on: October 21, 2021, 10:12:19 AM »Now started a new cardigan that requires a 2mm circular pin, so I bought a Knit pro one after reading suggestions here. It knits beautifully with no snagging, but today I have a sore finger from the very sharp point. I suppose that’s unavoidable with such a small needle. I might have to put a plaster onto protect my finger in future - you can’t win!
I have a leather sashiko thimble which I have to use with certain needles/yarn/gauges. It's the side of the finger on my left hand that gets sore - I think I must use it to help the needle through, but my knitting is too instinctive to slow down and work out what is happening (if I overthink, I can't do it!) so I just use the thimble!
