This talk of knitted shawls reminds me of a conversation at a social event recently. My acquaintance's mother-in-law is a knitter, and is currently working on a circular tablecloth. Either there's a mistake in the pattern or she has made an error because it isn't working out right; in particular she has many more stitches than suggested. However it looks fine, so she is going to keep on until it fits the table she wants it for. However her problem is that she has too many stitches to fit on her circular needle, and doesn't want to use a set of double ended ones. My acquaintance was supposed to be letting me know what size needle, but obviously his mother-in-law's knitting needs aren't top of his agenda. I've already made the suggestion of using 3 circular needles, so that the knitting spans two of them with a third to knit onto and off, but I'd like to know are there any sources of circular needles that are longer than normal. -- Never keep up with the Joneses.
