Where can I get a pair of 10 inch size 50 knitting needles made of other than plastic ?

I like knitting scarves to sell. I have some patterns calling for a size 50 knitting needles. All I have been able to find in the stores are Lion Brand and Susan Bates 14 inch plastic. For knitting scarves I prefer the 10 inch knitting. Any one know where I can find a pair of the shorter needles in wood?

How do I make fringe? How do I keep the edges of a knit scarf flat?

I knit a lovely chenille scarf and now I want to add fringe to the ends. How do I do it? Also, the edges are very curved. How can I get them to flatten out permanently?

Why does each row I knit add an additional stitch to the needle?

Although I’ve crocheted for years, I’m brand new at knitting. The only things I’ve worked on so far are the Cast On and the Knit stitch. But I notice that after each row I knit, I am inadvertently added a stitch to the needle.

For example, if I start with 20 cast on stitches, after knitting 2 rows, I now have 22 stitches on my needle after the row is completed.

Why is this happening? I’m assuming it shouldn’t…

Thanks in advance for your help!

How do you cast on to the next needle when you’ve been knitting with one needle?

I am a beginner at knitting, I just learned how to knit only using one needle. Now that my number stitches are done, how do I transfer them to the next needle “casting on”, using the same method as the one needle. I have looked online and seen videos, but they are too fast for me, and then I get frustrated.

What is the best way to knit a scarf without getting my pet’s hair in it ?

I want to make a lovely scarf for my best friend. I tend to knit on the sofa. My cats sit on the sofa any time, and tend to sit near me while I am knitting. My friend is very allergic to cats and I want to make her this scarf without being something she is allergic to. Any suggestions (that do not involve getting rid of my cats)?

What is the difference between normal textile cotton and knitting material cotton?

I’m having a costume made and the person asked me if I needed
normal textile cotton or knitting material cotton. And I don’t really know the difference, but I don’t want to say the wrong one…

So can someone tell me the difference and possibly some examples?
Thanks so much. (^_^)
