I usually advise people to start with something more along size 13+ short needles. I LOVE short needles and use them unless I have to use long or circulars.

I dont' know that the store had size 13. I know they had up to size 10, then some huge plastic things that I would not have been able to handle- don't know what size they were. They looked like big fat super long crayons and not at all comfortable to hold.
I played around with my needles last night, trying to follow directions on a website with good pictures. They felt comfortable and I could manuever them well. Just learning from pictures does suck! But i'll learn from a real person today
