Hi first time with circular needle and I am confused.
I purchased 3.5 needle and casted on 100 stitches as required. However it is impossible to knit. The pattern states 3.5 needle x 40cm. So I have looked and I think it means the total length point to point is 40cm. Mine is 80cm. I can adapt them but the needles themselves are 14cm long which means I need 12cm of cable? Is this correct and is it possible to knit with such a short cable? Thank you
