Hmmm, I'd be a little concerned about Goo Gone on them - we've never tried it so I don't want to recommend it in case it ruins them! I think a better idea is the soap & water trick mentioned above. I've also rubbed a little wax paper on my wooden needles -that might help as well.

I was worried that sticking them in water may loosen the glue of the Zephyrs, could this be a problem, Joan; ▶ Reply to This

That's a great suggestion & note about soaking them in the water. I'll keep that in mind next time someone asks!

The stand looks great, but I was worried the cats might turn it (and my needles) into a cat toy--then I'd be hunting for needles. (One of my hair clasps has never been found . . .); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by MushroomMom on August 28, 2009 at 10:58am: This is a general queston about the sizes of the interchangeable needles. Why is #17 the largest needle you make? I love the interchangeable needles but in doing some charity knitting, I want to get things knit quickly (afghans, scarves, etc). I end up doubling or tripling strands and using #19 or even #35 needles. I'd really rather make these items with your needles.

Does anyone else share my feelings.
