Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot "join the cables".. the longest cable length is eithe 47" or 60" - I forget which, but that is as long as it goes. Options and Harmony needles to not come with joiners for the cables.; ▶ Reply to This

If you want something really big, though, you could knit half of your project on one 60" Options (tips and cable) and the other half on another. Usually, you don't need that much cable, because the sts can bunch up on the cable. --P; ▶ Reply to This

Not necessarily to make a longer cable to work with as much as to move stitches to a holder or to exchange a cable you are using to a longer or shorter one.

I often miscalculate how long a cable I need for a project. After I've worked a few rounds, I'll decide I need more or less cable than I chose. I currently solve the problem by attaching the new cable to my new working point and attach a "cable screw on button" to the open ends of both cables. I work around to the other side, remove the cable caps, and finish transferring the other point to the new cable.

It would be so much more convenient if I could just attach the two cables in the middle, slide the stitches over, disconnect the old cable, and attach the other point!; ▶ Reply to This

I am currently using them on my first sweater and just think they are outstanding. They are smooth and comfortable in my hands, and they handle the yarn with ease. And now we have this wonderful new site too! Life is good.; ▶ Reply to This

Besides being colorful I love the pointed ends. Thats great for making socks and anything else you might think of. You can't go wrong with these, I highly recommend these.; ▶ Reply to This

The 16" needle tips are 3 3/8 inches long, allowing for an easily formed complete circle for small circumference knitting. The 24", 32", 40" and 47" needle tips are 5 1/8 inches long. Since our cable is super flexible, the Magic Loop method of sock knitting can be accomplished with the 32" needles.

But when i look at the set of interchangeable needles, I see no needle tip length. Can this be clarified? Thanks.; ▶ Reply to This
