I found many videos on youtube, i guess there is also some for left hand knitters. The circular needle is for projects that is knitting around, and i use them alot. The circular comes in various sizes, but i use them mostly for bigger projects. You can also make blankets and knit back and forth on circulars, its easyer because the heavy blanket will lay in your lap and dont press on your shoulders when you knit bigger items. I use 5 needles and circulars when i knit. 5 needles is for socks and mittens, circulars for hats and bigger projects.

Now im knitting socks for my children, and after ill be knitting an ipad cover for my brothers ipad.

Wishing you good luck with all your projects! And remember to dont quit, there are many videos that will help you when you dont understand and get stuck.

6 months in and you're making socks, hats, and mittens? I'm really impressed! I haven't worked with cabling either but I figure it'd be easy. A dear friend of mine makes gorgeous beanies with intricate twists and lacey scarves in various patterns. Her preference is wool. I appeal more to the specialty yarns since they're so much fun to work with and knit up fast.

I'm not sure if I can get into socks but I do love warmers. I get kinda excited when I talk about knitting, so please indulge me ha ha.

I will be teaching a knitting class next week. Wish me luck!
