Please help, I am knitting the round and as I am decreasing on circular needles the cords are too long and stretching out the stitches. The project started with 240 stitches on 29” cable needles and decreases to 8 stitches. Do I have to somehow transfer the project to needles with shorter cables? Or what do I do to solve the problem?
Thank you,

You could continue with the circular needles using magic loop or you can use another technique for knitting small diameters in the round, 2 circulars or double pointed needles. See the 2nd topic here for Small Diameter knitting:

You can knit the sts onto the dpns or 2 circulars if you choose to go that way.

Thanks for your reply and helpful videos. The magic loop method looks like it will be the easiest to transition to.
I truly appreciated the suggestions.
Magic loop is great! I use it to start then no changing needles when you decrease. 
Thank you.
I’m in the middle of project 
I’m going to try to transition to the magic loop method.

Changing to any other method is easy…just start knitting with the new needles.
