Length of circular needles?

The circulars I have include both the needle and the nylon string in the measurement. If you measure it from tip of one needle, across the nylon and to the tip the of other needle you will have the true measurement.

Ok, thanks guys! Jeez, it's the variations that made me nutz. Trying (FINALLY!) to do a written inventory of what I've got---hate it when I have 2 of the same size--already found that--apparently, I keep buying

The length is measured tip to tip, and sometimes if they're in metric, they won't be quite the same as inches. Even when using the same system there's some variation between manufacturers. What matters is that the needle length is several inches shorter than the diameter of what you knit.

Not possible to have too many needles.

I go through my wormbag every six months or so, make sure all the needles are back int he correct zippies, update my spreadsheet, etc. I would swear I haven't bought needles in ages, yet I always have more of certain sizes (4mm mostly, but my collection of long tiny circs is growing too for some reason).

Apparently you use 7s a lot. That's okay, I have duplicates of all my sizes, most of them have something on them...

Oh I feel much better now! I feel guilty if I have more than 2 projects going on at once-- I think I chalk that up to my short attention span---If I have too many going on at once, I forget what I'm doing somewhere and lose the "rhythm" of it-- hate it when that happens! Ugh. :)

but, but, but doesn't that mean that you *use* 7s a lot and need more? yes that's it! You need more ;-).
