Circular knitting needles

[sunnysunnyshine]

Has anyone else found it difficult to find short circular needles? I'm after some to make ds a jumper but have only found 80cm ones which are too long.

I have heard about magic loop knitting but it looks tricky and as this is my first attempt at knitting in the round I'm a bit out of my depth...

Any advice?

Get onto Ebay. There is a seller there called adamventure2010 - you can search for particular sellers on Ebay. I have ordered a number of items form them - they are very good, very reasonable and quick. They have a number of lengths of circular knitting needles for sale.

Failing that, log onto you tube and find a tutorial on magic loop knitting. I taught myself this method watching the you tube video. It was actually much easier than it sounds. I had my needle and wool in my hands and just copied the video, pausing it when I needed time to catch up.

Deramores sell 40cm ones. eBay has tonnes of 60cm ones too.

I got some 40cm knitpros from getknitted the other day. Magic Loop is easy, once you get how to set it up.
