I was never very interested in trying them before. I think that they’re a fabulous idea for new knitters, just starting to grow their needle stash. But I have so many individual needles, it just didn’t seem necessary to purchase a kit.
Well, I decided to try them; and I am really enjoying them! Let me tell you why…
I like the flexibility the kit offers. I just returned from a lovely and relaxing long weekend in Manzanita. For me, going on holiday means a lot of knitting. And probably starting a new project, maybe even two! Having the kit allowed me to do all my swatching at the beach, without fretting over not having the right size or the right length of needles. The kit is small and compact and didn’t take up too much space in my knitting bag. More room for yarn!
I like the feel of these tips, they are silky smooth! They also have a nice point; not too pointy, not too dull…just right.
I like the way the tips click on and off easily; and they stay put!
I like the cords. They are smooth and straighten out quickly. And they’re pink!
The joins are great. Nothing gets snagged where the needle connects to the cord.
I’m hooked! Stop by the shop and check them out for yourself. We have the blue kits, as well as the pink kits. When you purchase the pink kit, $5 of your purchase goes toward breast cancer research.

This is exactly why I bought a set, beach knitting!
I am really enjoying the set that I bought just a few weeks ago - the cables are pretty relaxed compared to other circulars that I have tried. Thanks Cheri
I've had my set for several years and just love them. They are wonderful when you're making a top down sweater. Use the extra "cables" to hold your sleeve stitches. I also purchased an extra long cable that I can add in when it's time to try on the sweater.
