Well.... For the components mentioned below, go to knitpicks.com - they
sell points and cables and I think they might even sell connectors to join
cables together for increased length. These "cable" needles are the only
ones I use even for straight knitting because the shorter points are easier
for my small, arthritic hands.

Could you work on 3 circular needles? Two hold an even number of stitches
each, a third needle is active until the next needle is empty, and that
becomes the active one - assuming you are working a continuous round.
However I think this would apply to back-and-forth as well. All else I can
suggest is to google lace knitting supplies, if there isn't a long enough
option, you might want to locate a place that sells the needle ends and
the
connecting nylon filmament separately, so that you can customize a
circular
needle for the project.

My problem is that I am currently on a curiclar needle that is absolutely
chokka, and the only larger one I can buy locally is only 20cm longer at
1
metre - far too short for what I am going to need. My request is, does
anyone know where I can buy, online, a longer circular needle - 3.25mm x
1.5
and/or 2 metres long.??
