[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I told everyone what I suggest and what I used which is 2 - 16 inch size 8  
needles.  
 
In my opinion the 29 inche needles are too long.  Some folks use 2  
different length needles.  So if you want to try what others suggest that  is up to 
you.  If it works for them and it doesn't work for you you will  have to 
take it up with them.  I can't tell you as I never used them.
 
I would think maybe a 16 inch and 20 inche would be OK, but working the  
thumb with these long needles I don't know.

So are  you saying, the length does not matter.  I could use length 24, 
like  Cathy or 29, if I have 2 sets of 8/29.  How strange!
Let me  know.  I did look for length 16 for another reason, in a larger 
size and  could not find any.

Terry,

That is why you use 2 circular needles when  making something in the round 
that is a small circle.

With the mittens  that I will be teaching you only have 8  or 10  stitches 
on for  making the thumb.  You use 2 circular needles to do   that.

Take the class and learn how.

Cathy;
Won't you have to get the size 8/16 to make a  small  item?  
How can you move the stitches and work in the  round, if the  needles are 
to long?

hmm, I  think that Terry  was referring to the length of the needles when 
she said 29.  that is a  fairly common length from what I have discovered 
during my  initial  research of knitting needles. a length of 16 is not as 
common. what I   happen to have now is a 24 length in my size 8 needles. I have 
not yet  decided  whether to get a 16 this time or another 24 to match. I do 
 believe I will try  a different texture  just to see if I like it  better. 
I have bamboo  needles which I do like.
I'm thinking of  trying   acrylic.
Cathy
