[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

[Paulette Vickery]

Hi Kathy, 

You can make a small item on circular needles that are to long, that is if
you are using 2 of them. However, the extra cable will be quite annoying and
keep getting in the way. Since you just learning the process of how to use 2
circular needles you don't want to have any extra trouble. So, I strongly
suggest that you order 2 size 8, 16 inch , circular needles. You will be
much happier and you will increase your needle collection. Eventually, you
will have all of the needles in the sizes you want and won't have to
purchase any more.

Paulette

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.
