- GlennaKnits@wisehilda I use 32" if it's Addi Lace or Knit Picks needles. 40" if normal Addis.
- charlotte2001@wisehilda 32" if I'm doing one at a time, 40" if I'm doing two (which I usually find too awkward to bother with).
- dennyknits@wisehilda 32"
- tapeheads@wisehilda 40" I find 32" just that much too short.
- indigodragonfly@wisehilda 32"
I've been asked why I was asking... was it because I was going to give Magic Loop another go? Nope. I'm perfectly fluent in the technique - and I prefer a 32 inch needle - but I'm still happier with my dpns.
Which brings me to the reason I asked... it's just a bit of non-scientific research for some friends of mine.

I just use whatever needle I have that's long enough. Sometimes I pull out two loops, sometimes just one. I have no idea how long the needles are as although I still have packages, I don't know which needle came from which package anymore, LOL.
An interesting note, last night I was skimming through Debbie New's "Unexpected Knitting" again, and in the reference section at the back, she described magic loop and says she's been doing it for years but had never seen any sort of reference to it anywhere. She didn't call it magic loop; the book was written in 2001. I'm wondering where the term came from and when.
