[message] => If you're curious about what length needle to buy, you can try holding a ruler the way you would your knitting needles. I used a small 6in ruler, but it will work with a longer ruler as well. Make sure the 1in mark is pointed toward your wrist/body and then slide it to different numbers to get a feel for the different length of needles. For me 3in is the no go length. I've also used this trick to determine how short of a straight needle I can use for lever knitting. Remember that for most needles you'll want to include the metal connection as part of the tip length. The average is about 5in.

[message] => I like both but don't have the super small ones from chiaogoo. I tried to use my friends but the needles were too short and my hands were cramping. I need the needles to be at least 10cm to be able to hold them steady! My friend has small hands though and she loves the shorter needles especially for socks and sleeves.

I used to have KnitPro too, but was not happy with the really bad needle to cable transitions.
I then switched to HiyaHiya and ChiaoGoo and have almost all lengths and needle tips, even the really small ones, which are best for gloves, socks an sleeves.
Normally a set with needle size 2.75 - 5.00 mm and cables in 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm lengths is enough.
Differences:
HiyaHiya:
in the set there are 8 pairs of needle tips from 2.75 - 5 mm
4 cables in lengths of 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm (total length incl. needle tips), flexible blue plastic cables that rotate at the connecting piece
ChiaoGoo: 7 needlepoint pairs, missing 3 mm
4 cables in lengths of 20, 35 and 55 cm (actual cable length)
Red Lace: red coated cables with steel core, non-twisting
Twin: transparent plastic cables that rotate at the connector.

Thank you! Yes the connection between them is really annoying, I have to move the stitches past the transition everytime. Do you prefer one over the other between chiaogoo and hiyahiya?

Hi just wondering what everyone's favorite type of interchangeable knitting needles are? I currently have knitpro ones but I'm thinking about getting some chiaogoo ones. But then I was also confused about what length needles to get. Advice appreciated thanks ⊂((・▽・))⊃
