I learned on straight U.S. size 10 plastic needles. They say 6 mm but as they are Boye's I'm not sure I trust that, but it's probably accurate. They aren't great needles, they are inexpensive and the plastic, like bamboo, will help keep the stitches on the needle when you want them there, bamboo will do it better.
If you are looking at needles online, maybe you could link to them and then we could see what the price is, could you do better somewhere else, etc.
It's great that you're asking before you buy small needles and heavy yarn and can't get it to come out right.
I'm going to buy them online. I'm a broke college student and I'm on a budget. I found them on a site called listia. I crochet also and I love that I just feel I should try to do something different. I just want to learn how to do a basic knitting.
Try your local craft store instead of on-line shopping.
Michael's and Joann's have weekly coupons for up to 40% off regular priced mdse.
Yep, coupons are good. I think Joann is having a 25% off sale now, so you can't use the 40% coupon, but I think there's a 15 or 20% off the total purchase which includes sale items. So a neeld for $7, with 25% off plus the 15% off is about $4.50.
Ahhh yes, rummaging around the flyers I have laying around, one that I picked up instore last week has a 15% off Feb 15-18, can probably find it at their website too, and a site called dealsplus
