I am currently using them on my first sweater and just think they are outstanding. They are smooth and comfortable in my hands, and they handle the yarn with ease. And now we have this wonderful new site too! Life is good.; ▶ Reply to This

Besides being colorful I love the pointed ends. Thats great for making socks and anything else you might think of. You can't go wrong with these, I highly recommend these.; ▶ Reply to This

The 16" needle tips are 3 3/8 inches long, allowing for an easily formed complete circle for small circumference knitting. The 24", 32", 40" and 47" needle tips are 5 1/8 inches long. Since our cable is super flexible, the Magic Loop method of sock knitting can be accomplished with the 32" needles.

But when i look at the set of interchangeable needles, I see no needle tip length. Can this be clarified? Thanks.; ▶ Reply to This

I used to have a business selling my crochet work but closed it a couple of years ago and just started crocheting for fun. But I got the itch to learn how to knit (my mother turned over in her grave, I'm sure LOL) and dear hubby obliged. I am practicing my new skills by making 25 hats and scarves by November for the local women's shelter. Knitting with these needles is making that project so easy! I especially love the finely pointed tips which help this beginner get take up each stitch without any problems. And those points sure come in handy when binding off...you should see the contortions I go through! LOL But the wood helps keep the yarn from sliding very much and the points help me to get it right the first time around. Thanks, KnitPicks for coming up with these interchangeable needles! Now if I could just afford to buy all the other needles and yarns that I want...................... LOL; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by goddess_rl on March 25, 2008 at 7:25am: what kind of yarn do you use that allows you to use the interchangables? I have to use about a size US 2 to get decent gauge. Sadly I would be using only the cord if I had to knit with that. (though a simple little metal cap on the end would probably make that work...hmm.; ▶ Reply to This

They now come in the long lengths and work wonderfully. The only time I use the interchangeables for socks is when I'm using a worsted or DK for big bed socks (my term), and then I usually use a size 4 - 5. With the Magic Loop the socks are knit in no time at all.; ▶ Reply to This

I know I should call customer service, but it generally pops back in with out trouble. My mom and I both use my set. We love them, and I can't wait to buy her, her own set.; ▶ Reply to This
