Hello! I've been knitting with straight needles for while and wanted to try and make the leap to circular needles, but it's proven to be a bit difficult, haha.

My question is: Does the length size (16in, 29in, etc...) of the joining part of the needles matter? And if so, what should I do? I'm trying to knit a hat using circular needles of a length of 29in, but all the tutorials I've found have people using needles with a length smaller than mine, so I feel as if I'm missing something...?

(Thanks in advance!)
