• a distal end comprising a pointed tip of the first knitting needle;
• a proximal end;

• a first groove defined in an exterior surface of the elongated shaft,
• wherein the first groove extends from a distal portion of the elongated shaft, proximally along a length of the elongated shaft, and
• wherein the first groove is configured to receive a pointed tip of a second knitting needle.

A knitting system comprising:

• a first knitting needle comprising a four-sided, elongated shaft having:
• a proximal end;
• a pointed distal end;
• and
• a first, second, third, and fourth groove, that each extend from a distal portion, and longitudinally along a length, of the four-sided, elongated shaft, with the first, second, third, and fourth groove respectively being defined in a first, second, third, and fourth face of the four-sided, elongated shaft.
