[Nfb-krafters-korner] Length of Life Line - WAS: don't shoot

[Annette Carr]

The length of your double or triple 0 needle depends on the type of projects
you want to use it as the life line.  A 40 inch is plenty long for scarves
and anything less than 30 inches.  If you are going to be knitting blankets
and shawls, then you might want to consider a 60 inch long needle.

HTH,
Annette

Be sure you get a nice long one of these babies.  When the class was  done
here in the past it was suggested that you get a 40 inch long and choice of
000, 00 or 0 size.  Most of us did get the Abby Turbo one and ordered it
from New Hampshire [Help me ladies what is the name of the yarn place in New

Hampshire right next door to Keepsake Quilting?].  Actually Dixie   found a 
yarn shop lolocal to her in Connecticut and not sure if she ordered it  or 
they had it, but it was another brand [not abby turbo] and was cheaper.   
She picked me up one there and it works very well.  Dixie was ours size 00
or size 0?

One last  question of the day. Please forgive me those of you who have made
your  recommendations on this subject already. You know who you are!
Have any of  you made a lifeline by threading a fine piece of yarn or thread
or waxed  dental floss through the tiny hole in the metal screw tip of  your
interchangeable circular cables and, as you knit your row, the  lifeline
thread got nicely pulled through your stitches with no  interference at all
while knitting?
Once that row is  knitted, when it comes back around, is it in your way at
all? 
Has anyone succeeded in simply slipping a cable into the  stitches without a
super small sized needle tip on it to make that  easy?  
I see a 000 Addy circular on Amazon but I'm  waiting to find something I
want to order in addition to that item so I can  qualify for free shipping.
The Addy is made in Germany and is nicol plated.  Who else makes them in
other materials and do they work as well? 000 size  is not real common in a
circular needle from what my searches have turned  up.
