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.

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.
What
