Boy, I do hope you get this comment AND respond back to me on it. I would love to get that "yarn guide" you show. I've done searching on the net but can't find it anywhere. Can you help? Thanks! (Another man who knits!)

If your in the states you can go to Wal-Mart I have seen them there or Michales hobby and craft store.

[dgrendahl]

Thanks! I'll check it out.

@dgrendahl .... just google " Clover Yarn Guide"

[CraftyAndy]

@dgrendahl you can find them in almost any yarn store, but Joann.com and Michaels have them.

[CraftyAndy]

Very good question and the answer is yes,it works continental or English, you just have to learn how to use it.

How nice - a man who knits! And likes Harry Potter, which is wonderful.

I have two questions for you:

a) how does one knit fairly small pieces on circular needles?

b) what yarns (brand, type, colour) and needles did you use for the Hufflepuff hat?

Thank you and keep knitting =)

Hi Willow:

To answer your questions and an be below a) If you want to use small needles for small items I will suggest to do the Magic loop technique, which will allow you to have just one Circular needle.

b) The yarn is Lamb's Pride worsted Lemon Drop (Yellow) and Onix (black) are the two colors I used. The Hufflepuff hat I made in Tapestry Crochet with a F or G Hook will work fine, if I would be knitting this hat I will use us 6, I am a tight knitter.
