I decided that I wanted to give knitting in the round a go to make a hat that I wouldn't have to sew a seam into because I hate that part and it looks a little sloppy in my opinion. So I checked out the method that seemed easiest to me: knitting in the round with one circular needle. Okay, cool. I can totally do that. Knit normally, only the needles are really only one needle.
That's all fine until I got my stitches cast onto the US 11 (8mm) circular needles I have only to realize the thing was 29'. Much too long for a hat. Okay, so I checked the other three sets of circular needles I have. All 29' or more. I got them from my grandma and she used them to make blankets. To my knowledge she never did make a hat.
So once again I am discouraged by knitting in the round, and I've given up on it again until further notice.
