50mm Circular Needles?

#1

Hello Knitting Friends!

I am hoping this exists, and I just can’t find it:

I have these stubby 50mm circular knitting needles, but they are too short to work with. I’m hoping that there exists a set that the needles are about the same size as my crochet hook?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a webite that sells such a thing?

Thanks!

Possibly these?

Sorry it’s a huge link, it’s etsy. It says 35cm long which I am comparing to the size of your hand and crochet hook in the pic, and think this is the right size.
Good luck with finding what you need.
I’d love to see what you’ve made with these too.

I feel like the squared-off end where the cord it attached would make these VERY awkward when sliding the stitches up. And is 35cm perhaps the cord length, not the needle itself?

Yes, maybe.
It’s not clear which you’d get as there are different styles in different pics on the same listing.
The pic where they look 35 cm long is this one, I was judging it based on hand size, and these are tapered and not squared off. Maybe a question to the seller could clarify, I don’t know if messaging is possible on there I don’t use etsy.

Interesting that the same seller shows both types. I’d be careful to specify when ordering, or try to message them first.

And wow…those make my hands hurt, just looking at them! I find anything above 4mm makes my hands cramp after not too long. Can’t even imagine working with these!
