[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: circular needles

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Joyce;
What size cables did you get with the set?  The site says 24 and 32.  Did you get any others?  My friend said it shows 3 in the picture.  This set will not help for smaller projects.  Can you buy smaller cables?  
So far, my interests are, hats, scarves, maybe a blanket, small cases, surely not sweaters.  What can I do?  
Do they have the size 8 in 12 inch?
We were looking and ran out of time.  I am interested in trying to make small items and use beads with in the knitting.

Terry P.

Terry,
 
Denise interchangeable  needles you do not have to worry about them  coming apart.  They lock into place.  They are going for $49.99 , but  if you go to their website they have sets of them for $39.99.  They are  marked down because of something like a minor flaw on the case or something like  that.  
You get size 5 to size 15 needles with an array of different size  cables that attach the needles.  The lengths will give you something like  size 16 circular needles going up to with combining the cables to something like  40 inches.  They give you these things that allow you to attach the  different lengths of cables together to give you these array of size  lengths.  Also you get these kinda locking knobs so you can use the  cables as stitch holders or put them on the end of the cable with the needle  pointt on the other ends and you can make up a pair of straight needles.
 
The wooden set from Knit Piks I am not sure what other length of cables they have, but it starts off with what will give you a 24 inch circular  
needle.  That does not help if you need a 16 inch circ.
