Using these KnitPro Mindful Double Point Needles is easy. First, pick the yarn you want for your sock, hat, or sleeve project. Slide the yarn onto the needle tip and start casting on your stitches. As you knit, enjoy the inspiring words on the needles that can help you stay in a mindful state. When you're done with your knitting, gently remove the finished piece from the needles. To keep your needles in good condition, store them in a dry place away from moisture. Avoid bending or dropping them, as this could damage the stainless - steel lace tips. You can use a soft cloth to wipe them clean if they get dirty.
