Knit in the round basics?

Circs are easier to learn on, you can figure out DP's later. (DP's are used for small circumfrance knitting, so knitting that tiny with tons of DP needles gets confusing)

I love knitting in the round (you dont have to turn and purl!) goes a lot faster

I just learned to knit in the round using the above-mentioned site. I agree with the pp that circs are easier than dp to start out. A problem I had when I first started was picking up my knitting after I had been doing something else and then going in the wrong direction. So one side ended up way taller. : It helps to keep tracdk of what you are doing to use a stitch marker (a safety pin will work if you won't have one). Also, when you pick up your knitting after being away, you have to look at the last stitch you did (look 4 the stitch that has the yarn hanging out of it). If you knit english style (which i think many new knitters do), you want the stitch with the yarn coming out of it to be in your right hand.

HTH!
