From what I can see of your yarns and needles, they should go very well together. You can try and knit a sample on each set of needles to see what sort of fabric it creates with your yarn and which one you like best.<BR/><BR/>There are some great learn to knit videos on line - have fun, but be warned it's a slippery slope to a yarn stash!Ruth's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789737451339663572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-32996224418766839972008-07-06T15:04:00.000-05:002008-07-06T15:04:00.000-05:00I love the vintage tablecloth squares!

You should be able to use those with the yarn that you have. Usually yarn labels will recommend what size needles to use. I would check out knittinghelp.com to see some tutorials on how to knit. Start out with the long tail cast on video and then move to the knitting tutorial. I'd start out with the Continental style if you're a crocheter, or the English style if you've never tried knitting or crochet. Have fun and enjoy!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899925801318375926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-33579516038447855812008-06-30T19:06:00.000-05:002008-06-30T19:06:00.000-05:00Lucky you.
