help with needle sizes

[Jan in CA]

I also learned on straight bamboo, but a size 8 or 9 I think. I'm pretty sure i got them at Joann or Michaels. Circular needles are wonderful though and they are all I use now. I don't even own a 60". I think that might only be useful for a giant blanket. If you're going to start with circs I'd make sure it's a flexible cable.
