hi, you can do search on google, but if you like i can put here some link ( i think it is possible here...)
I learned to knit in the round from an Elizabeth Zimmerman dvd.I think it's called Knitting Workshop.It was really good. There's also a book.
If you go to you tube, do a search for magic loop knitting. This is a really good way to knit in the round.
I agree with loveinspanish that Elizabeth Zimmerman is one of the better teachers out there.Knitting without Tears and The Knitter's Workshop are 2 of the best beginner's books with DVD out there. I wish I they were available when I was learning how to knit, and knit in the round.
Knitting needles are a very personal choice.What ever needle you like using is the needle for you.If they are sold at a knitting shop near you Chiaogoo knitting needles (fixed circular, interchangeable, straights, and double points) are one of the best quality needles available, but they don't cost a fortune.I use them exclusively now, because the quality is so good, and the price is really good too. (Where I am a fixed Addi circular needle costs $24 and a ChiaoGoo of the same size and length costs $7. Big difference but as far as I'm concerned, the Chiaogoo are the better quality.The cables are fantastic.Just my opinion.)
I started knitting 'in the round' about 3 months ago.I purchased a set of Bamboo circulars from china - 10 different sizes for about £6 - and watched lots of you tube videos.It took a while especially as I have always held one needle against my body and the size of circulars does not allow this so it was like learning a totally new method of holding the needles.It is well worth persevering, ( I was about to give up thenit all fell in place ) the end result is so much neater, very little sewing. If you get frustrated just put it aside for a couple of days and try again, you will get there in the end. Re needles I have just ordered another cheap set of bamboo circulars from china so I have a spare set, I really like them.
Good luck !

At first I was really afraid to try magic loop circular knitting, but it turned out to be very easy! It's much less fiddly than double pointed needles, although I still get laddering sometimes.
good luck!
interesting, thanks
