When I started knitting the Tartan Lula Hoop, I used 15mm straight needles and I got tired of the knitting back and forwards. So I changed to knitting on circular needles. The only circular needles available are 80cm in length, using the magic loop method. It worked very well, also I added an extra 2 stitches, instead of having 18 stitches, I made mine with 20. Whenever I changed colour, I left long pieces of yarn, which can be easily be weaved in. The concept by 'Wool and the Gang' and 'We are knitters', is the get young people knitting, using chunky wool, so it knits up quicker and make it very fashionable indeed.
