[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

[sunshine]

Hi, Terry!

I have longer circular needles, but even for short scarves I use them and don't have a problem. Smiles! A friend of mine uses the longer needles for working in the round and doesn't find it to be a problem. She said she just has to be sure the cable is out of the way! Now, I think I would rather have shorter cables for certain things. I need to check my 8 to see exactly how long it is, but I believe it's longer than I need! Smiles!

Hugs

> 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.
