Another circular needle question
I'm using circular needles to knit a log cabon blanket. My needles are about 26 inches and now that my blanket has gotten bigger and bigger, I need longer circular needles. What length of circular needles should I buy to continue knitting my blanket. I'm planning on making a full size log cabin so I think they should be much bigger.

Actually, Addi's are available in lengths up to 60". That's a full five feet.
I'm making a queen-size log cabin as a single square, and by the end I'll be squeezing 90" sides onto my 60" Addi's.

Probably the easiest option is to get a set of Denise interchangable needles. With enough extenders and cords, you can make a circular needle of limitless length. I'm considering ordering the 40" and 52" cords for my current log cabin.
Love, love, love my Denise set. The storage case keeps everything neat, together, and compact. You can link together the included cables or buy an extra set of longer cables. I just link together the ones in the set.
Most important to me, I love the feel of the needles. They are smooth, not quite as slick as addi turbos and yet much smoother than bamboo.

I just received my Hiyahiya 60" from www.knittingzone.com and they are very nice! Much less expensive than the addis.
Wow congrats on your blanket! It sounds like it is moving right along :) As far as the Denise set goes, I LOVE MINE! They are great to travel with and wonderful to knit with :)
I prefer bamboo needles, but I do like the Denise interchangables. They've saved me a ton of money. Plus, if any part of the set breaks you can send it in for a replacement.
