[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

Fri Mar 22 00:49:08 UTC 2013

I believe that when you are measuring a circular needle, you measure from
the tip of one needle to the tip of the other needle.  So if you have a 16
inch circular needle and each of your needles are 4 inches long, then the
actual cable would be 8 inches.

I have the metal circular needles, but don't know for sure which brand and I
will have that checked and get back to you! I think these would be about 16
inches as they're pretty long!
