Knitting needles & crochet hooks?

I am beginning to learn how to knit and crochet and I am curious, how many sizes can you get knitting needles and crochet hooks in?

Knitting needles %26amp; crochet hooks?
I have been crocheting since I was in the fourth grade and Im 55 now! lol It depends on what you want to crochet for the size needle. Cotton thread requires anything from 000 to 15. the larger the number the smaller the size. Regular yarn uses B to K. The larger the letter is the larger size yarn. I know there are some larger size needles and I bought some but have never used them.(By the way I have every needle I ever bought including the first size 7 ) I hope this makes sense. If not then please email me.

Reply:Check one of the craft stores on line and they will show you the various sizes and price of them I would you suggest that you but only the needles you need and when checking you will find there are two different type of crochet needles. One is for crochet thread and the other for yarn. The one for thread is identified by number and the yarn by letters. I have never tried to count the different sizes for each type of needles but have found that you can get on line and ask for sizes of and then put in the crochet or knitting and they give you the list and comparable sizes in other countries and the size of thread it is used on.
Reply:u can get both knitting needles and crochet hooks in lots of sizes (depending on the area u are in some stores may carry more variety then others). they are availabe at craft stores or walmart. its easier to learn with a slightly largher crochet hook and sport or worsted weight yarn. i suppose the same would be for knitting all though i haven't much experience with that. i have just learned to crochet myself and found it rather easy to pick up.
Reply:more sizes and shapes for knitting needles.....only a few for crochet
