I wouldn't. It's very small. Worse comes to worse, you can go over it in duplicate stitch to make it line up "perfectly".
I hate baubles with a passion and they look perfect on the white sweater.
I puffy heart love square needles.
Gotta love the blue bible.

I use Soctopus’ Shadow Wraps and you never have to remember to pick up the loop.
Don’t, unless you have like an extra yarn over. As Saint Elizabeth said, it will even out.
Some are better than others, but it usually is like knitting twine. Linen is even worse. #knitting

Probably more than I have fingers but less than fingers and toes.
I have a cowl that I knit subtitled “Stress? What stress?” as the rectangular item was visibly trapezoidal when I finished. The top was almost an inch tighter than the bottom. I eventually frogged it and remade it for other reasons.
Both of us can buy something at the thrift store and deconstruct it to make something new out of it.
Why is it that some knits go fast and Husband Socks drag on forever.
I have a number of square needles for circulars. I love them.
Yes. You have my permission.
Recommendation: sort by weight, and how much you have. I have one tote that is just 10 skein bags of dye lot matching worsted; another tote is just single skeins of fingering.
It’s grown since this photo.
Off the needles, out of its bath, and o the form to dry. Of course it’s also locked in the powder room so the cats don’t try to eat the plastic bags.

Cables pull the fabric in. Don’t make your decision until after you wet block it, pin it out, and it’s dry.
I knitting a shawl in a faux mohair from a magazine pattern. There was an error in the pattern; I could not figure out how to correct it. I got so frustrated I ripped the needle out and threw the yarn out.
For real mohair, if necessary, if you put it in the freezer it should be ‘easier’ to frog.
I just picked up needles for the first time in years. I picked something small with a tight deadline. Im almost done and am at the part I’m cursing.
I like the Yarn Harlot’s advice for steeking. Prep everything, pour a glass of wine, cut your knitting, drink the wine, and have a little lie down.
Use stitch markers flagrantly.
Rewrite with a pen(cil) on paper your collar and band instructions.
Verbally repeat and talk out the process to your cat.
Verbally and physically going through it will help you understand it.
Learning the phrase: "I left through the front door, I'll be right back." for the increases made doing them so much easier. Knitting has taught me I have the memory of a goldfish.
I’m so sorry. I hope your pickup went smoothly. I keep a 40” size 1 circular in my travel bag for this exact reason. It’s so much easier to pick up with a smaller needle.
Cascade 220 and Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride are my two favorite yarns.
I print most patterns and then scribble all over them. I think the only one I haven’t is Grandma’s Dishcloth.
Here it is in use, from www.lesliewind.com (I got mine via Etsy). When not using, I have it on my left middle finger. I also cable without a needle for cables that are 4 sts or less wide.
I got a cable ring and it was a game changer.
oh. That's a litlle ... jarring. I'd find a more muted color.
