Homemade circular needles

Sometimes you need a longer or shorter circular needles than are commercially available. Or does not have the right strength at hand. There is a remedy:

Take a very thin but very elastic hose. My daughter has let out of the KH an expired (ie overdue) "suction tube". You then push it on a normal short needle, and on the other end on one. You can choose the length (or shortness) of the circular needles yourself. You do not need to buy them extra. And if you need the normal ones, you can take the hose off again.

And you can continue to use this hose; at most cut off the end when it is exhausted.
