Christmas is just around the corner. With so little time and so much to do knitters are busy with their knitting needles to get their handmade gifts finished and wrapped up in time.
Socks are quick and easy knitting projects, perfect for this gift-bearing season. They are the ideal gift for yourself or a loved one. For socks, it's more efficient to knit in the round. This gives us the option of circular knitting needles as well as double-pointed needles.
Circular knitting needles have a huge fan base. In fact, for many knitters, they're the everyday needles for all projects whether it's a pair of socks or a wide blanket.
The cast on is the first step of the knitting project if you do not count the slip knot. You simply make stitches on your knitting needles with the yarn. These stitches do not count as a row or round as almost every pattern counts stitches from the row or round above.
